Yale College, August 18th, 1929.
The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes as fol-
lows: "a work of this kind has long been wanted in
our schools; and it is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan of the
work is such as every teacher must approve II he
gins with the pupil by parsng in easy sentences the
teren parts Of speech separately learns their
and leads him by an easy popresa of
plying each rule of etymology and syntax az he al
ranccs TO a familiar and thorough knowledge of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much to the value of the work; as experience abund
antly proves that these exercises cannot be n,rod,
ced at too early period in learning the language"
