This book has been compiled and prepared for the use of children
who may have mastered the reading lessons of the spelling-book. It
is more particularly designed as an immediate successor, in this
respect, to the "Confederate Spelling Book," which has been so
extensively adopted in the schools of the Confederate States. The
pieces have been selected with a view to interest and instruct the
pupils, and at the same time to elevate their ideas, form correct
tastes, and instil proper sentiments. Whatever seems most desirable
for these purposes, among the literary materials that have become
public property, has been freely appropriated; suitable articles
neither being rejected because familiar to adults, nor novelty
sought for its own sake. At the same time, the selections have, by
no means, been confined to the hackneyed list. It is believed that
the exercises thus chosen, are well adapted to the capacity of
those for whom they are designed, and will afford them much more
real pleasure, as well as improvement, than the frivolous sentences
which some suppose to be the best entertainment for juveniles.
