From Mr.. JUNGMANN, Principal of the Frederick Luz
tleran Academy.
Having carefully examined Mr. S. Krkham's sys-
TEN of English Grammar " in familiar Lectures am
satisfied that the preemnen advantages possesses oyer
our common SYSTEMS will soon convince the public that
is not one OF those feeble efforts of quackey which have
so often obrudedupon our notice. To say that the author
has brought into small compass, greater number of i'm
portant principles, disencunbered of all unnecessary
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 subectmater to the capacity of
the young learner, and the happy mode adopted of
nnicatig it TO his mind in clear and simple
hat he can easily comprehend the nature and application
OF every principle that comes before him.
BY teaching the young beginner parse every part of
speech Systematically, as il is explained to him,
and by exercising him in false synax, the theory of the
science becomes happily blended with Practice; and thus
his attention is Immediately arrested, and his abors
rendered pleasing and advantageous In short, all the
trlcaces of the science elucidated clearly
hden that even raUae learner, OF common docilty
by perusng this system atenvey, acquire abetter racd
cm knowledge OF this important branch of literature in
three months, than is ordinarily obtained in year.
