Mr. James Brown, asgcntleman who is at this
time teaching 4 new system of English Grammar
IN Wilmington, has handed to us the following
"Stricture," for publication. This gentleman
has lately given several lectures upon this sub
ject, which have been numerously attended and
received with pretty general satisfaction. There
are some, however, who do not altogether COIN
eide with him in his theory. With view to
illustrate his plan further, he proposes to exam
inc and point out few grammatical errors in the
writings of authors with whom his readers
are familiar. The first that he makes choice Of,
are those OF" Paul" in tho " Letters Of Paul and
Amicus." In composing his structures, Mr..
Brown must admit that he has the advantage OF
his subject, inaslnuch as that when these letters
were written, subject considered of more i'm
Portancc than Il strict adherence TO the rules OF
grammar, engrosscd the attention of the writer's
consequently, errors were liable to be made,
which, had the jcct been lessimportant, would
not have been so lkely-to occur. His strict
ares may be interesting and instructing, but We
would much rather they were on the theory o.
protested grammarians.

There are many particulars admit; but
as these particulars all relate to the same
thing, there is but one subject. The con-
structiue policy of the sentence, therefore,
should be as presented under it's revised

sentence, reminds me of the Dutchman who
supposed because he taught ten branches in
one school, that he actually taught ten differ
