OF Rhetoric and oratory in Yale College.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
From Mr. Stoddart, teacher Of Greek in the New Ia-
ven Gymnasium.
Messrs. Durrie and Peck-In compliance with your
request, have examined Lessons i'll Greek Parsng,'
and cheertully express my decided appreciation of
the plan and execution of the work Combining the
outlines of Greek and Grammar, with appropriate
exercises upon the various rehe cons cannot fail to
increase the interest, and facilitate the progress of

The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes as fol-
lows: "a work of this kind has long been wanted in
schools; and it is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan of the
work is such every teacher must approve. II be-

different parts Of speech separately, he learns their
infections, and leads him by easy progress of an.
plying each rule of etymoogy and syntax, as he adj.
vances 10 familiar and thorough knowledge of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much TO the value of the work; experience abund
