DEAR SIR-l have perused your g Grammar in familiar

From Mr. JUNGSlANN, Principal of the Frederick L.
i theran Academy.
i Having carefully examined MIR. S. Kirkham new ss
Item of English Grammar I" in familiar Lectures" am
satisfied that the preemnent advantages possesses
our common systems, will soon convince the public that
lit is not Of those feeble efforts OF quackey which have
so often obrudedupo notice. To say that the author
has brought into small compass, greater number Off
portan principles, dsencumbered OF all unnecessary mat
ter than is comprised in almost any other elementary
treatise grammar, is not doing justice to the merd
Ibis work Its decided superiority over all ohei systems
Consists in adapting the subectmatter to the capacity Of
the young learner, and the happy mode adopted
q ncung it to his mind in manner so clear and simple,
that he can easily comprehend the nature and application
, lof every principle that comes before HIM.
II BY teaching the young beginner to parse every part Of
lspeech systematically, il is explained TO him.
and by exercising him in false syntax the theory OF the
science becomes happily blended with Practice and thus
Ibis attention is Immediately arrested, and his abors are
rendered pleasing and advantageous. In short, all the IN
y ricaces Of the science are ecidated so clearly am con-
c den that even PIRATE learner, OF common docy can
o. cal knowledge Of this important branch ct literature
three months, than is ordinarily obtained in one year

Having examined Mr. S. Kirkham's " Compendium, Il
