Excerpt from The Pioneer, Vol. 1: Consisting of Essays, Literary, Moral and Theological; February, 1812 Though printed in separate volumes, they are in fact an extended selection of similar pieces, which, how ever they may differ in subject or style, are clothed in language equally difficult. The gradation consists rather in the subject, than the expression. Upon the whole, it may be doubted whether the defect incident to the first steps of reading, has in any considerable degree been remedied by the selections of Mr. Mur ray. A compiete set of class books, occupying their distances in due proportion, are still wanting as a de sideratum in the study of the English language. Too rapid and unequal strides in the art of reading, are equally discouraging'to'the pupil, and vexatious to the teacher. The more minute and regular the grad dation, the pleasure and improvement will be in pro portion. It is much to he wished that a'judicious se lection of class books, occupying an easy, yet strong ly marked gradation, were produced. - That this, amidst the splendid profusion of useful and elegant learning of the moderns, has been so long wanting, is not more surprising, than the possession of it would be beneficial.
