Notes

"The Literary and Scientific Class Book, by the Rev. John Platts of Doncaster, England, was published in the beginning of the year 1821. ... The plan and leading title of the above-mentioned publication have been adopted ... and many of the lessons have been retained either in full, or in an abridged and altered form. The notes, appendix, and engravings, have been added; and such materials have been selected from other sources as were judged best adapted to improve the hearts and enlarge the minds of youth in this country."--Preface, p.
