Extract from communication oy Dir. WM. RAFFERTY,,

From MIR. JUNGMANN, Principal of the Frederick Luz
theran Academy.
Having carefully examined MIR. S. Kirkhams sys-
tenn of English Grammar fin familiar Lectures" am
satisfied that the advantages possesses oyer
our common systems, will soon convince the public, that
is of those feeble efforts Of quackey which have
ESQ often obrudedupon notice. To say that the author
has brought into small compass greater number OF Inn
portan principles, dsencumbered of all unnecessary mat
ter. than is comprised in almost any other elementary
treatise grammar is not doing justice to the merits OF
his work. Its decided superiority over all other systems,
consists in adapting the snbjectmaer to the capacity OF
the young learner, and the happy mode adopted of
nunicating it to his mind in SO clear and simple,
that he easily comprehend the nature and application
lof every principle that comes before him.
BY teaching the young beginner to purse every part OF
speech Systematically, as is explained to him,
land 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 shor all the IN
|trcaces of the science calculated so clearly am con-
fdent that Private learner OF common docty, can
Iby perusng this system atenvely acquire abeer rac

Having examined Mr.. S. Klrkham's &c Compendium, &c
of English GRAMMAR" think, from the manner in which
he has condensed the rules and definitions and from thu
