Moffatt & Paige, Warwick Lane, Paternoster Row, London. SPECIMEN PAGE. THE EXPLANATORY POETICAL READER. 3 9 THE SOLDIER'S DREAM.-Campbell. OUR bugles sang truce,' for the night cloud had lowered,2 3 When reposing that night on my pallet of straw, Methought, from the battle-field's dreadful array, To the home of my fathers, that welcomed me back. I flew to the pleasant fields traversed" so oft In life's morning march," when my bosom was young: And knew the sweet strain, that the corn-reapers sung. Then pledged we the wine-cup, and fondly I swore And my wife sobbed aloud in her fulness of heart. Stay, stay with us!-rest; thou art weary and worn: And the voice, in my dreaming ear, melted away. Our bugles sang truce, gave the signal to cease fighting for a time. A bugle is a musical instrument. 2 Lowered (pronounced so as to rhyme with overpowered, third line), appeared stormy, gloomy or threatening. Wolf-scaring fagot, fires lighted to frighten away the wolves. Vision, a dream. Desolate, dreary, solitary, uninhabited. Traversed, wandered over. 7 Life's morning march, the days of childhood. 8 Fain, glad, happy. The Explanatory Poetical Reader.-Price Is. Adopted by the London School Board, for reading and repetition in Standards IV., V., VI., VII., and Literature of Code. The Schoolmaster says: "Altogether it is an admirable little volume."

The chief point of excellence is the graduation. Every difficulty is analysed. Without such lessons there can be no certainty of success. Printed in excellent style. Sure to command the attention of teachers. Decidedly among the best.' The School Guardian says: "Fulfil the requirements of a good series of writing books. Paper good, copy-heads bold, and the right amount of assistance is given." The Pupil Teacher says: "These are an excellent series, in which the elements of the letters are taught separately, and then conjoined. This will, doubtless, lead to a far better penmanship than is obtained by most others yet published." The Teacher's Assistant says: "These copy books have several valuable characteristics. They have no unnecessary and difficult flourishing. We strongly recommend them; they deserve to be extensively used." The Educational Times says: "An excellent series of copy books; the various processes of arithmetic being combined with the writing copies-a good idea, we think." The Educational News says: "It is difficult to conceive of a youth patiently and carefully working through this series without becoming a good writer." The Teacher says: "The writing is round, readable, and withal pretty. The head-lines are set by one used to teaching. The paper is good. We doubt whether there is a better series." Note.-Messrs.
