you that think the BEST for initiating youth in gram

From Mr. JUNGMANN, Principal Of the Frederick Luz
theran Academy.
Having carefully examined Mr.. S. Kirkham's sys-
Item of English Grammar s. in familiar Lectures, am
satisfied that the preemnent advantages possesses over
our systems, will convince the public, that
lit is of those feeble efforts OF quackery which have
often obtrded upon notice. To say that the author
has brought into small compass greater number OF I'M
porant principles, dsencumbered of all unnecessary mat
tier, than is comprised in almost any other elementary
treatise grammar, snot doing justice to the merits OF
Ibis work. Its decided superiority all other systems,
consists in adapting the subectmat,er to the capacity OF
the young learner and the happy mode adopted Of com
nnnicang it TO his mind in manner so clear and simple,
that he can easily comprehend the and application
of every principle that comes before him.
BY teaching the young beginner to parse every part OF
speech systematically as soon as it is explained to him,
and by exercising him in false syntax the theory Of the
science becomes happily blended with practice; and thus
his attention is Immediately arrested, and his labors are
rendered pleasing and advantageous In Short all the IN
ricacies Of the science eucdated clearly am con-
den that Private learner, OF common docy, can
by perusng this system atentvely acquire better dc
col knowledge of this important branch OF literature II
