I have carefully examined the Critical Pronouncing Spelling Book, compiled by He zekiah Burhans, I consider it superior to any other that I have seen; such is the peculiarity of the English Language, that an accurate and critical knowledge thereof is acquired with great difficulty, which is increased by the want of this book or one similar to it, in our ele mentary schools, I do therefore most cheerfully recommend the introduction of this book into our schools.

By the late Governor of the State of New York.

I have examined the Critical Pronouncing Spelling Book, written by Hezekiah Burhans, Esq. and I fully concur with the respectable testimonials heretofore given in favour of the general merits, and particularly of its being well calculated to teach exact pronunciation. DEWIT CLINTON.

Albany, March 24th, 1824.

A work "entitled" the Critical Pronouncing Spelling Book, by Hezekiah Burhans, Esq. was put into my hands for perusal, I gave it as perfect an examination as my time and leisure would permit, and I arose from that examination with the conviction that the very many respectable names, which appeared in its favour had very justly sanctioned the work as possessing great merit, and as being entitled to public commendation and favour; it is therefore with much pleasure, that I add my name to the numbers of those who ap plaud the zeal, industry and talents of the author, and pronounce him a public benefactor. Teachers and Parents will be much benefited in pursuing the plan adopted in this work, which possesses peculiar and strong claims to their attention for the facilities afforded in promoting the education of children under their care. I wish the author success in his plan of Philanthropy and learning.
