Testimonial in favour of John Heywood's Writing-Made-Easy Copy-Books. "October 6th, 1877. "Dear Sir,-Allow me to say I am very much pleased with your novel and admirable idea as shown in the Writing-Made-Easy Copy-Books. The three specimens are the very thing required for Standard I. As specimens of plain and good writing they are excellent. The words chosen for the standard are most suitable as spelling lessons. The figures are al splendid examples for children to copy. The arrangement is well suited to obtain good resu!* writing, and the paper is good. Were I teaching I should certainly use the series, and ca honestly recommend them to masters as an excellent set of copy-books-Yours truly, "An INSPECTOR'S ASSISTANT MANCHESTER: JOHN HEYWOOD.

Heywood's (John) Complete Series of Home Lesson Books, for use in Public Elementary Schools, in Six Books, corresponding to the Six Standards of the New Code. By A. GARDINER, Head Master of the Outcote-Bank Board School (Huddersfield School Board). The Books in this Series have been thoroughly revised and entirely re-written, so as to adapt them to the requirements of the Revised Edition of the New Code. The new features are: (1) Simplification of Standards I. and II. (2)-Lessons for only 42 school weeks, thus leaving a few weeks for revision of the Grammar, Geography, or History, before the examination. (3) Special Lessons in Grammar and Geography, for Standards II. and III. (4)-An arrangement of the Geography in Standards IV. to VI., so that it can be taken either as laid down in the Code, or as a THREE YEARS' COURSE. This is a distinguishing feature of the series, and cannot fail to be appreciated, especially in small schools. (5)-The new Arithmetical requirements of Standard V. are fully provided for. (6) The Literature requirements of Standards IV. to VI., including both pieces for repetition, and an explanation of "meanings and allusions," is another useful and important feature. From four to six pieces of suitable poetry will be found in each book, fully annotated. In schools where expense is an object, this will be a great help to both teacher and pupil. It may fairly be said that this edition of the Home Lesson Books is the cheapest, the most useful, and the most helpful series of text books for children's use that has ever been presented to the profession.

HEYWOOD'S (JOHN) MANCHESTER READERS. NEW EDITIONS, CAREFULLY REVISED AND COPIOUSLY ILLUSTRATED. A new Series of Books of rudimentary instruction for Elementary Schools of all grades and classes, specially prepared to suit the requirements of the NEW CODE, and affording the most efficient instruction in Reading for the various standards of examination. The READING AND SPELLING LESSONS will be found of inestimable value, being based upon a perfect system of gradation, and differing in style from any others published. In the Spelling Lessons, the etymological division of words has been always preserved, except where it would interfere with the usual pronunciation of vowel sounds, in which case the etymological division has been subordinated to the phonetic. Full and clear lists of the most common Prefixes, Suffixes, and Roots are appended to the Fifth Book. HEYWOOD'S (JOHN) NEW CODE READERS. In Five Books. Designed to supply the requirements of the Education Department for a Second Series of Reading Books. These books are compiled on the principle recommended in the "Instructions to Inspectors," that books for teaching reading should be of a nature to interest children. The earlier books consist of a number of simple tales specially adapted for the amusement and instruction of the young. Neither spelling, writing, nor arithmetic lessons are introduced, as the object of the New Code Readers is simply to supply extra reading matter, and not to take the place of distinct manuals on other subjects of education. In the higher standards the books are varied in nature, and made up of lessons on subjects calculated to excite the interest of the children, while conveying to them valuable information. The lessons are carefully graduated, so that each standard is perceptibly more difficult than the previous one. Pieces of poetry are interspersed throughout, and care has been taken to exclude from each book any extracts which would be difficult of comprehension to the child in the particular standard.
