PREFACE.

THIS book has been compiled on the principle recommended in the "Instructions to Inspectors," that books for teaching Reading should be of a nature to interest children. It will be scen from the table of contents that it consists of a number of simple tales, specially adapted for the amusement and instruction of the young. No spelling lessons are introduced, as in the better class of schools in the present day, this subject is taught from distinct manuals, and the same reason may be given for the exclusion of arithmetic. Every series of Reading books must finally stand or fall upon the simple issue whether they are found successful in teaching children to read. The compiler has had this ono object in his mind in the preparation of this volume, and he hopes that, by making it a book full of interest for children, it will facilitate the work of the teacher in securing fluency in reading. A few simple poems are scattered throughout the volume, as it is the opinion of the compiler that in every standard, children should be taught to read poetical picces which they are able to understand. The present regulations require three distinct sets of Reading books in each class, and this series is therefore compiled as a companion to the other series whose name it bears (John Heywood's Manchester Readers, First Series).
