FOSTER'S ELEMENTARY COPY-BOOKS, designed to lead the Learner, upon simple Principles, from the first Rudiments of Penmanship, to a perfect Knowledge of the Art:- being a new and improved Plan of Teaching; by which the Trouble and Loss of Time in Ruling Horizontal and Diagonal Lines, and Setting Copies, are avoided, and the Attainment of Penmanship is greatly facilitated. Adapted to Schools and private instruction. By B. F. FOSTER. Teacher of Writing and Book-keeping-Author of a Development of Carstairs' System,' "Prize Essay on the best Method of Teaching Writing," "Foster's System of Penmauship," &c. To Parents and Guardians. The intrinsic difficulties which embarrass a child in his early attempts to acquire the Art of Writing, are too often overlooked by those whose duty it is to superinted this department of education. The principal cause of these difficulties is, that he is required to attend to at least a dozen different things, at one and the same moment; namely, the position of the body and paper; the manner of holding and conducting the pen; the length, slope, and relative distance of the letters; the fullness and proper swell of the main and curved strokes; the uniformity of the top and bottom' turns, &c. Each of these objects is new to him, and therefore difficult; and, by demanding attention to so many things at once, the consequence naturally fellows, that neither is learned well or easily. Months and years are thus wasted in vain attempts to acquire the art. The pupil goes on, from day to day, in the same beaten track, till bad habits are acquired and connrmed, often to be as lasting as life. Indifference and want of correctness, once permitted to pass with impunity, are sure to lay a foundation fer much future trouble. It is believed that these improved Copy-Bocks will obviate the difficulties which learners uniformly experience in obtaining a masterly use of the pen, by rendering its acquisition, even to mere children, simple and progressive, easy and agreeable. The whole plan is reduced to a methodical arrangement, whereby every part naturally Яows from that which precedes, and leads to, and illustrates that which follows. By means of the reeded lines, the pupil's fingers and hand are made to move according to the correct forms of the letters, from the commencement of learning to write. The system is founded on natural, and obviously correct principles: it affords the most simple, easy, and efficient means for the speedy and thorough attainment of fine Penmanship, as every pupil, however gligent, is compelled to form his letters correctly and with care throughout his whole book, whether the teacher be present or absent. Each succeeding stroke, therefore, will be an amendment upon the former; but when the letters are made improperly, every repeated effort confirms a bad habit, and renders the learner more and more unfitted for becoming an ELEGANT AND EXPERT PENMan. Description of the Copy-Books. [The price of each number is 12 cents.] No. 1 is designed for beginners. It contains copies at the head of each page, consisting of straight marks and exercises on the turns, leading the pupil gradually from the simplest to the more difficult and complicated characters. No. 2 contains a repetition of the exercises on the turns, together with large-hand words, combining the elements of the principal letters. Copies at the head of each page. No. 3 contains the letters of the alphabet, progressively arranged, with reeded lines for their correct formation. The size of the letters in this book is considerably reduced. No. 4 completes the series, and contains an alphabetical set of copies in round and small hand, combining the capitals and small letters. Each page exhibits an elegantlyengraved copy for the pupil's imitation. In this Book the pages are arranged wi.hout reeded lines, as the learner who has thoroughly practised the exercises in Books No. 1, 2, and 3, will find no difficulty in unitating any style of writing which fancy or inclination may dictate. AMERICAN QUARTERLY REGISTER. Ir is in contemplation to enrich the present volume of the Register, with one or more portraits of distinguished clergymen. Each likeness will be accompanied with a biographical notice. Our ability, however, to make these and other improvements, will depend very much on an increase of patronage to the publication, and the payment of sums already due. An alphabetical List of the graduates at all the Colleges out of New England, is in a course of preparation, and may be expected in some future number or numbers. The Register is published on the first days of August, November, February, and May. Each number will contain from 80 to 90 pages, making a volume of 320 or 340 pages, annually. A list of agents is inserted on the cover of each number. The work is put at the low price of one dollar and fifty cents, with the expectation that there will be a large subscription. On no other ground could it be supported. It will be sent gratuitously to all persons who give to the American Education Society $75 per annum, or the amount of a temporary scholarship.
