The title of this work has been changed from that of "Child's Educator"-the resent being considered more appropriate. It has been designed to place in the hands of the young a series of lessons on the most interesting and important subjects in an attractive form, divested as much as possible of those technical difficulties which so often prove insurmountable objects in the path of the young student. A large amount of the information it contains is equally adapted for adults; especially that large portion of the community whose opportunities of acquiring knowledge in their youth were extremely circumscribed. The work is copiously illustrated with numerous well-executed Wood Engravings.

The value of this book is sufficiently established by the fact, that many, without any other aid, have learned to read, translate, and write the French tongue, and, in some instances, even to speak it correctly.

Each part of this Dictionary-French-English and English-French-is remarkable for its copiousness. By employing a small, yet clear and distinct type, space has been found to enrich its columns with many words of daily use, found in no other similar work extant. The editors have studiously endeavoured to translate our examples and proverbs, not in a literal manner, but by their real equivalents, and to render our definitions concise, clear, and true. The Dictionary is preceded by a chapter on the pronunciation of the French language, and appended is a Table of Irregular and Defective Verbs, which the student will find of considerable assistance. No pains have been spared to make this work perfect.
