Having carefully examined Mr.. s. Kirkham's sys-
tenn of English Grammar sin familiar Lectures am
satisfied that the advantages possesses over
our common systems, will soon convince the public that
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
portant principles dsencumbered of all unnecessary mat
ter, than is comprised in almost any other elementary
treatise grammar not doing justice to the merits of
his work. Its decided superiority all other systems,
consists in adapting the subectmatter TO the capacity of

by peusng this system attenvey, acquire better raci
cal knowledge of this important branch OF literature IN
three months, than is ordinarily obtained in one year
