Excerpt from The Catholic School Book: Containing Easy and Familiar Lessons for the Instruction of Youth, of Both Sexes, in the English Language and the Paths of True Religion and Virtue

Objections have been made to this work, because it does not contain some grammatical exercises and also that the spelling lessons are not sufficiently prolix.'1'o the first, the Editor begs to observe, that he never found'snch exercises to be of any ser vice to children at the age when they use this book and when they arrive at the proper period to study grammar, it is better for them to have a separate work on the subject, many of which are to be had. To the second it may be observed, that most of the reading lessons in the first part being divided into syllables by hyphens, they must be considered' as adapted to the purpose of spelling as well as of reading. The editor's chief aim, in compil ing this work, was to implant the seeds of Virtue and True Reli gion in the minds, of the rising generation, at the time of imparting to them the knowledge of letters; convinced, as he is, that no thing is so necessary to insure the happiness of mankind, as to train up a child in the way he should go, for when he is old he will not depart from it. If the divine precepts of a Christian life, and the necessary means of fulfilling them, are but firmly rooted in the minds of youth of both sexes, they will not fail to become virtuous ornaments of the Catholic Church, worthy members of society here, and happy citizens of heaven hereafter. The following pages may be found useful in attaining these desirable blessings is the sincere and fer'v'ent prayer Of.
