HOUCHEN LINGWOOD, Principal of Peterborough Private School. PETERBOROUGH. IS CEJSTTS. PETERBOROUCIH : THE RE\ir W PRINTING AND PUBLISHING CO. (LIMITRD.) 1891. i;^ inUE.'»5-a«n-'T!""" S^5 - To the Ptiblic. ^UKING a long experience in teaching, we hive felt the want of a suitable Spelling Book for very young beginners^one which will present the lesson to be learned, in its simplest form, without any of those notes and explanations, accents, italics, etc. which tend so much to confuse the minds of children, and to make the lesson appear to them to be more formidable than it really is We claim to have attained the desired object in this little work, which we have carefully compiled for use in our own schools, and to which we wish respectfully to call the attention of the public. The book contains one thousand carefully selected words of one and two syllables, each vowel sound being represented in its order, with the addition of a number of miscellane. u , examples. We feel assured that when the pupil has thoroughly mastered the contents of this book, he will not find any difficulty in ttie use of the more advanced spellers. Si'ARHAM Sheldrake. F.
