The same may be said of the notes appended to the several selections; and these, if judiciously supplemented by the teacher, will greatly increase the interest of the pupil. For instance, if the class is studying Colonial History, the pupils will recognize several names in Grandfather's Dream, and these may form the bases of interesting and instructive composition work. The definitions have received much attention. The aim has been to discriminate the synonyms, thus aiding the child in obtaining a better understanding of the language, and placing in his hands the means of pursuing still farther his investigations in this interesting field. All the illustrations are the work of the best artists and engravers in this country, and serve not only to beautify the book, but as valuable aids toward a better understanding of the several selections.
