The British School Series. The Revised Series SECOND READER. EDITED BY THOMAS MORRISON, LL. D., RECTOR, FREE CHURCH TRAINING COLLEGE, GLASGOW. GALL & INGLIS. London: 25 PATERNOSTER SQUARE. Edinburgh: 20 BERNARD TERRACE. 3987. f. 139 DEC 35 OXFORD PREFACE. THIS Reader is intended to meet the requirements of the Second Standard of the New Code issued by the Education Department, and of the Instructions to Inspectors regarding the same. It contains 80 pages of reading matter arranged into 40 Lessons. It has been constructed on the same general principles as the First Reader. The Lessons are graduated, and are partly informative and partly interesting and amusing. Numerous illustrations have been given, and, in connection with these, a great deal of useful general information may be communicated to the scholars. The meanings of the more difficult words have been given, and, in every case, the meaning given is that which the word bears in the particular Lesson in which it occurs. A Series of Questions has been added to the Lessons to enable the scholar to test how far he understands the subject treated of. Word Lessons have been given. The Word Lessons are most important, and should be gone carefully over in connection with every Lesson. They furnish admirable opportunities for securing correct Pronunciation. T. M. GLASGOW, 1884. |
