THE Subscribers have engaged in an enterprise, which is designed to supply the rising generation of Kentucky and the West, with a Series of School Books adapted to their wants. We appeal for support to the people of the State. Why should Kentucky-why should the whole South and West be dependant on our Northern neighbors for the books which are to form the minds and regulate the principles of our youth? It is well known that northern school books are often full of opinions and sentiments hostile to the very constitution of our social relations. Our object is to supply schools with books not merely free from this larking poison, but full of the highest patriotism—above all sectarian and local feeling. If our home-made books are only equal to those made elsewhere, have we not a right to ask the people of this State to foster a home-enterprise? But we are not satisfied in producing works equal to those made elsewhere, but we may appeal to the judgment of the best scholars, whether in point of literary merit, mechanical execution and cheapness, the following are not superior to all competition : SERIES OF SCHOOL BOOKS. By S. G. GOODRICH. The New Primer, 36 pp. 18mo. The Common School Primer, 96 pp. 16 mo. Goodrich's Fourth Reader, 240 pp. 12mo. Goodrich's Fifth Reader, 384 pp. 12mo. full b'd. Bronson's Elocution; or VOCAL PHILOSOPHY, 320 pp. 8vo. cloth. All New Revised, Enlarged Editions. The following are supposed to be some of the peculiar excel lencies of this system: 1. Completeness-Beginning with the alphabet, and advancing to the highest principles of elocution. 2. Comprehensiveness-Embracing all the helps and facilities both for teacher and learner. |
