In this part the scholar has four recitations for each half
day, all brief, but gradually increasing, and suited to
pupils between nine and twelve years.
The Geographical exercises are designed as a premium
for prompt recitations, in his daily exercises.
This part is designed for pupils of fourteen or
fifteen years of age. It closes the studies opened
in the First and Second Parts, and furnishes
good common education without the aid of
the Fourth Part. As the lessons are arranged
collaterally, the pupil will be obliged to apply
to the spelling exercises through the
whole course. The Appendix is devoted
to those branches of study which could
not be collaterally arranged.
As this part will offer but three exercises,
the pupil will revise his
studies, Book-Keeping, &c.
