+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ BY ANNA E. TOWER.
+
+ BOSTON:
+ BROWN, TAGGARD & CHASE.
+ 1857.
+
+
+
+
+Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1857, by
+
+ANNA E. TOWER,
+
+In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the District of
+Massachusetts.
+
+ELECTROTYPED AT THE
+BOSTON STEREOTYPE FOUNDRY.
+
+
+
+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+Teachers will observe that only a FEW LETTERS _at a time_ are given to
+the pupil, and with them _words_ formed of those _few letters_. Thus
+the alphabet as presented to a child in detached portions, and each
+successive portion practically used in _words_ before the next is
+learned.
+
+This method is claimed as a peculiar feature of this book, except so
+far as it is used in the "GRADUAL PRIMER."
+
+The alphabets at the beginning of the book are for those who prefer to
+teach in the old way, and for all to learn the old order of
+arrangement.
+
+No word is used in the book till it has first been given to the pupil
+in a spelling lesson.
+
+This book will be an easy introduction to the "GRADUAL PRIMER," the
+First Reader of Tower's Series; also to his "PICTORIAL PRIMER;" and, in
+short, to _any_ Series of readers.
+
+It is especially designed for the LOWEST CLASS in the primary schools,
+to encourage children by making their first step simple, easy,
+attractive, and interesting.
+
+JANUARY, 1857.
