Having partially examined the Critical Pronouncing Spelling Book, compiled by Hezekiah Burhans, I believe it to possess some advantages over works usually met with on that subject. JOSHUA HOOPES.

Downingtown Boarding School, 7 mo. §, 1820.

So far as I have examined the Critical Pronouncing Spelling Book compiled by Hezekial Burhans, I think it ingeniously arranged and well calculated to facilitate the progress of children in the rudiments of literature. SAMUEL WEBSTER, 6 mo 20, 1820. Teacher of Friend School at Woodbury, New Jersey. Having carefully examined the Critical Pronouncing Spelling Book, I feel myself perfectby justifiable in pronouncing it to be the best system on orthography and orthoepy now extint, to facilitate the progress of the pupil in the rudiments of an English education. HENRY LIPPINCOTT, Teacher of the Friend School in Bristol, Penn.

6 mo 12,1920. I have cursorily examined the Critical Pronouncing Spelling Book, by Hezekiah Burhans and believe it well worthy the attention of parents and instructers of children.

On a partial examination of the Critical Pronouncing Spelling Book by Hezekiah Burhaus, I am free to say that the general feature of his system and some of the more minute parts appear to be calculated to facilitate the progress of children in the art of spelling.
