I cannot help it.

I have done and will do my best to prevent such a violation of the very first principles of infant teaching.

To conclude, there is much to be thankful for! Since the infant-system was evolved, a very great improvement has taken place in the character of school-books, and also in prints.

The graphic illustrations and the simplicity of style, on a variety of subjects, is admirable.

The same may be said with respect to nursery books; I see a great improvement in all these.
