Synopsis
"A Sequel To The Gradual Reader" by David B. Tower and Cornelius Walker is a mid-19th-century educational collection designed as a companion to the Gradual Reader. Originally published in 1853 (with an 1858 Congress-related entry indicating continued rights for the author and publisher), the volume presents a complete program for developing reading skills in middle-class students. It opens with Preface and Introduction on vocal training, articulation, inflection, emphasis, pauses, and the use of slides and circumflexes; followed by a substantial Reading Lessons section featuring moral sentences, selections in poetry, dialogues, narratives, fables, and short stories intended to teach virtue, responsibility to elders, forgiveness, perseverance, and self-control. The book includes exercises for articulation and prosody, practical examples for drilling pupils, and guidance for teachers to cultivate purity of tone and expressive delivery. It aims to combine instruction with moral improvement in a curriculum for common schools, emphasizing the pure and the sublime alongside useful literacy.
