The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes as fol-
lows: "a work Of this kind has long been wanted in
schools and il is believed that the present little
volume viii supply the deficiency. Tie plan of the
work is such every teacher must approve. II be-
gins with the pupil, By parsing in easy sentences the
different parts of speech separately as he learns their
infections, and leads him by an easy progress of ap-
plying each rule of eymoioGy and syntax, he adj
vances to n familiar and thorough knowledge of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much to the value of the work. experience abund-
anty proves that these exercises cannot be ntrodu-
