Cobb taught your great-great granny

Brookville American, 1835


COBB'S SCHOOL BOOKS

Brookville, April 27th, 1835

Having had an opportunity of examining Mr. Lyman Cobb's system of elementary school books, I feel a freedom in recommending them to the favorable notice of Teachers, and others interested in the education of youth. They, in my estimation, supply a desideratum in the elementary schools of the country. The graduation, classification and arrangements are philosophical and calculated to lead on the mind without an apparent effort.

Having used Mr. Lyman Cobb's Spelling Book, while teaching in the state of New York, and subsequently having used his Juvenile Readers No. 1, 2 and 3 in my School in Ohio, and recently having examined his other works on Arithmetic and Orthoepy, I feel a freedom in recommending them to the favorable notice of the public as among our best elementary works.

Having examined Mr. Cobb's elementary School Books, we feel warranted in recommending them to all who are interested in the prosperity of primary Schools.
