FROM THE PRESS.

pro

"After a careful examination of MODEL DIALOGUES, we have no hesitation in nouncing it the best work of the sort we ever saw."-Hearth and Home. "This book will be much in demand. The Dialogues all read well, and have a good moral. They will cause much laughter and some tears."-Rural New Yorker. "It would be hard to get together such another variety, with so little exceptionable in morals. We can give it a hearty word of commendation."-New York School Journal, "While the vein of humor in many pieces is rich, we find none of them erificing sense to nonsense. They are instructive without being heavy."-Sunday School Times. . "Every page bears the impress of a genius in this department of work."-Methodist Home Journal. "It has a rich variety of style and sentiment, adapted to all ages to all times and to all localities."-Methodist Recorder. "Wholly free from anything objectionable, and covers so wide a range of subject and style that all tastes can be suited."-Chicago Advance.
