Messrs. LONGMAN and Co. beg leave to announce the reissue of Mr. LAURIE's Graduated Series of Reading Books at considerably reduced prices. They also have to announce that to render them at once more complete, and better suited to the present requirements of Inspected and other Schools, a new Primer suited to Standard I. of the Revised Code has been added to them by Dr. J. D. MORELL, one of H.M. Inspectors of Schools; and a careful selection of poetry appended to Books III. and IV. All the

books have been several times reprinted, and new and revised editions are now ready.

The Graduated Series in its present form not only comprehends a far greater quantity of matter than any of the other Standard Reading Booksbut presents a variety of Readings on Historical, Geographical, Scientific, and other Miscellaneous Subjects; which have been acknowledged to be unequalled by any similar publication. The prices at which the Series is now offered are the following

'WE have had occasion to speak in terms of the highest approbation of two or three volumes of the Graduated Series of Reading-Lesson Books. The fifth and last book of the series, now before us, shows how excellently the plan adopted in the arrangement of the books preceding it has been calculated to lead the pupil onwards to a full appreciation of these complementary selec
