GUMMERE'S PROGRESSIVE AND ETYMOLOGICAL SPELLING-BOOK; containing a great variety of useful exercises in spelling, pronunciation, and derivation, including extensive tables of words deduced from their Greek and Latin roots. In two parts; the second part is arranged on the basis of Butter's Etymological Spelling-Book.

This book presents an exceedingly judicious arrangement of spelling and reading lessons, the latter being composed of the words of the former, thus teaching their use and signification. The second part of the work is an etymological dictionary, giving the derivation of words from their Greek and Latin roots. This is a highly important exercise for scholars somewhat advanced, and supplies to some extent the necessity of learning the original languages. 12mo, 216 pp. 20 cents. THE PROGRESSIVE SPELLING-BOOK, First Part, is intended for beginners, and contains the reading and spelling lessons of the larger book. 18mo, 126 pp. 12 cts. THE SCHOLAR'S ETYMOLOGICAL SPELLING-BOOK; being the second part of Gummere's Progressive Spelling-Book. Used in the best schools. Adapted to succeed any Spelling-Book. 19 cents.
