Advertisement to the Third Edition
Many instructors have used this book without giving it out to the
classes. Others have made a more successful experiment by using it as a
class book, allowing each pupil to have a copy, and learn his lesson
from the book as well as from the objects. By possessing this double
advantage, the pupil acquires more definite ideas of the meaning of
words, and the exact properties and qualities they indicate, than he
does by the usual mode of committing to memory the pages of a "Definer."
