'•Most treatises on education in spite of the intrinsic importance and value of their inculcations arc too didactic, not to say dull, t(; gain tlie attention of the nmsses ; but liere is a work, in which the errors and the truths pi'rtaining to this subject are vividly illiistrateii l)y a tale of absorb- ing interest, which once begun, the reader will be sure to follow to the end.—A'. )'.

Of the talent and spirit of this work, T think very highly. There are a few errors of style and typography, i)ut they are but slight blemishes in go good a work. — lioiiACE Mann, to the Pidj/ishers. I have been much interested in the perusal of Locke Amsden. The «tory is so ingeniously contrived as to win the readers dose attention tc tlie end.
