" This is a clever compendium of a most useful branch of Ma-
thematical Science; for every person ought to be acquainted with
Algebra. The Author's object is to abridge the labour of the
Muter, or to render a Muter unnecessary, by familiarising the
subject so as to facilitate the study, and, consequently, lessen the
penod usually spent in acquiring this essential part of education.
Such are his avowed objects, and his work is well calculated to
insure them."—Literary Chronicle, March 16, 1624.

A NEW GRAMMAR of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE,

planatory. By T. 0. Churchill, Translator of " Herder's Phi-
losophy of History" and " Bossuet's Ilistory'of Mathematics."

" The Grammar of Lowth seems especially. to have served this
Author for a model ; but he has Made many just corrections in it,
and many valuable additions to it, and has enlarged that compen-
dious introduction to the English language into a comprehensive
treatiie, illustrated by numerous critical notes. Murray and Cram-
bie have been consulted ; so have Sheridan's Orthoepy and
Walker's Rhyming Ihctionary ; and the result is a copious body
of information concerning tbe analogies and anomalies, the pecu-
liarities and niceties of our Tongue, more adapted, perhaps, for
the proficient than the beginner, but truly instructive, ai4 perpe-
tually elegant. On the whole, this work frequently deserves ei:n-
sultation, and will tend to a critleal actinisition of our language.".—
