IMPORTANT TO TEACHERS AND SCHOOL-MANAGERS.

THE CHEAPEST READING BOOKS YET PUBLISHED.

CHAMBERS'S SUPPLEMENTARY READERS,

Consisting each of 128 pages of interesting and instructive reading, selected from Miscellany of Instructive and Entertaining Tracts, strongly bound in limp cloth, price 8d. each.

IN announcing the issue of this series of Reading Books, the Publishers desire to state that Chambers's Miscellany has proved a valuable educative medium: where used in ordinary School-work in the single number form, it has engendered a love for reading, and has enlisted the sympathies and secured the interest of young folks.

In connection with the favourable reception which these numbers have received in Schools, the increased demand for Reading Books (resulting, in a measure, from 'Instructions to H.M. Inspectors of Schools,' recommending the adoption of one or more sets of books, additional, in each class), has suggested the propriety of issuing, in a cheap combined form, a selection deemed suitable for class reading.

The series consists, in the meantime, of six books. In each volume, variety, quantity, and cheapness are so combined as to warrant the hope that the series will be acceptable to Teachers generally, and prove useful as Reading Manuals in all classes of Schools.
