Crit►cal Opinions upon the preceding Volumes.
" This work excites much curiositfbecause it professedly
treats of living Charaaers, and we infer that its information
is.impartial and correct. It is but justice to own that we
have been altogether amused by the publication."—British
Critic. •

«A spirit of candour and moderation evidently pervades
the present publication. Some of the characters are drawn
with great discrimination, and display an acuteness of powers,
and a felicity of expresSion, not to be found in the fleeting
produdions of the day. In short, the work abounds in moral
and critical observations that evince correctness of judgment,
and delicacy of taste."—London Review.
‘. This Work discovers respedable traits of discrimination,
and has the merit of being uncontaminated by the virulen:e
of party spirit."—Critical Review.
The memoirs contained in these Volumes are full and
accuratd in point of information.; judicious in their literary
and critical strictures: and exhibit well drawn and appro-
priate charaders of their respedive subjeds'. They•are not
written under the uniform influence of any particular theo-
logical or political bias."—New Annual Register. •
This Work proceeds according to its first design, and it
seems to irriprove as it advances with time. The volumes
contain a considerable number of memoirs of personsi our
contemporaries, whcfli,gtire in the moral, the political, and
the scientific walks of society. The discussion of living cha-
raders is a difficult and delicate task, but in the execution of
it, the Authors of this Wcirk have acquitted themselves with
as much success as can' reasonably be expe..ted."—Mouthly
Review.

'l'he celebrated Dr. Blair, late Professotof Rhetoric and

opinion of the Gran-mat and Exercises conjointly, in .+. he fol-
lowing words i Mr. Lindley .It,lurray's. Grammar, with tht
Exercises and . the Key in a separate volume, I esteem as a
most excellent performance. I think it superior, lb-any
Work of that nature. we have yet had; and au persuaded.,
that it is, by much, the best Grammar of the English Lan-
guage extant. On Syntat, in particular, he -has shewn
a wonderful degree of acutensss and precision, in ascertaining
the propriety of language, end in reCtifying the numberless
errors which writers are apt to commit. .Most. useful these
books must certainly be to all'WhO are 4,plYing themielTes
