Excerpt from Third Book of Lessons: For the Use of Schools There has also been added a Lesson containing the principal English Prefixes and Affixes employed in the formation of words; which Teachers are recommended to use according to the subjoined example. The first four Lessons in Geography are designed to be taught according to the directions prefixed to the Second Book. If Teachers think that it will be of advantage to exercise their Pupils, according to the method prescribed in the Lessons on the Parts of Speech, and on the Prefixes and Affixes, at an earlier stage of their progress than these Lessons are here given, they can cause them to be learned, either when the Book is commenced, or at any other period which they deem most convenient and proper. Attention is particularly requested to the Lesson on Glass, in the first Section; which has been taken, with a few alterations, from Lessons on Objects, according to the system of Pestalozzi, and is intended to show how the Master ought to make his Pupils familiar with the general and distinguishing properties of all material substances. To teach this system with effect, they are recommended to provide themselves with specimens of all the inanimate objects mentioned in the Lessons, and with drawings of all the animals.
