From the Hon. Joseph Hopkinson, Judge of the Supreme Court of the United

States.

Philadelphia, Sept. 24, 1830. I have read with much satisfaction the volume entitled "Practical Reading Lessons," &c. The subjects are exceedingly well chosen and arranged, and fulfil even the high promises of the title page. The manner in which these valuable lessons are given, is admirably calculated, not only to make a deep and durable impression on youthful minds, but, further, to lead them to deeper reflections and practical applications of their precepts.

Long dissertations, however sensible and perspicuous, are not easily remembered; and even condensed and pithy axioms of general truth are not readily brought into actual use. A story, a striking anecdote, illustrating the precept or principle intended to be inculcated, are infinitely more effectual.

I hope this excellent work will have a circulation commensurate with the benevolence which has caused its publicati n. JOS. HOPKINSON.
