P.S. Cleavcland is sangune in the belief
that from Is years Lccturing, in many Of tho
most Literary Institutions in the United
States, that useful & practical knowledge of
the English Language can DE impaired in
course of 20 lectures. The following are
among the numerous recommendations, re.
ceived from sources Highly crodi,abfe and
satisfactory.

Clcnveland's Introductory Lecture, on the
Science of Grammar, last evening, was we'll
received. His system is approved of in this
town generally, by the Instructors, who are
dcsirous that the ciiizens Of this town, and
their children, may receive the benefit of his
instructions"
From tlie Albany Argus, n. Y.
"Dr. Cicavcland has just closed a gram
matlcal class in this city with distinguished
success. Ills pupils are among those who
can suitably appreciate his superior QualiIi-
cations. His practical aud scioatlic mode of
treating in a simple way what is in itself o
difficult subject, has received, as il merits.
the appreciation Of our most intelligent citi-
zens.
DR.. Ceaveland's method Of instruction de-
mands moro than passing notice. II would
be satisfactory, although 1t is not possible at
this time to render it full Justice. lie unites
the rules of Hamilton (withodt his preten.
sons) with the seven principles Of the earlier
gramInarians, without show, but with a sin.
gularly copious knowledge Of his subject hc
places every thing before us in such a man.
ner that We can examine for ourselves.
Those who speak more languages than
one, will discover in DR.. Cleavtland's mode
q teaching, system which conceive would
be difficult to find explained in any published
gramlpar.
have not attended his class regularly, but
have heen present several times, and | con-
fess havo derived from his lectures many
new ideas. No system can be clearer and
palmer than that which he adopts nor do
conceive that with the same degree of study
and research, fuller or better knowledge OF
pure English can be obtained. Ills method
of referring every thing to-ihc judgment OF
the pupil, is singularly tclicitous-it operates
as an incentive TO exertiun, and renders that
a pleasure. which would otherwise be con-
sdered task"

DR.. =. s. Clcaveland has been success
ful Lecturer, for many yeags in the important
science of English Grammar. Ills lectures
