All these books are in the lift of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, except No. 1 and 3.

Children should never change or quit a book once taken up, if it be a fitting book for the child's age and progress, to try another. All children alike may be taught to read in the very cheap tracts No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15. For poor children the cheapest alone will fuffice, Prayer books, bibles, and expenfive books, should only be put into the hands of children when they can read readily and diftin&tly, for the purpose of practifing and underftanding, not of learning to spell and to read; notwithstanding what may before be faid to the contrary. The broken

catechism, as foon as the child can fay the catechifm, fhould be ftudied by every child, and perfectly learnt by heart, and, as far as can be, understood.

The following are fome of the regulations of the Military Male Orphan Afylum at Madras, to which a more particular reference is made above.
