rRs OF NUrT1Nc's New GRAMMAR: Having a,,entyelv
examined The New Grammar Of Rufus Nut,ing, nov
publishing by you, can trnly say that am happy 10
recommend ii, because in doing so lclive subserve
as far as my opinion may have weight, the in,ere,
Of popular educaon in orr state. had always con.l-
erel the former Grammar by the same author ennal
and in many respects SUPERIOR ioany in use; and on
comparing the present work with he old one find all
essential omissions supplied, and large mass Of
highly interesting and useful matter added, which, IN
my opinion, now makes il work better adapted 10 the
use Of our common schools than any grammar ex,an,

have for several years adopted Nut,inss system of
English Grammar; and am prepared 10 say, that IN
my opnion, II is greatly superior to any now in use,
not only as correct in the principles Of The language
but being adape 10 the capacity oflearners. After
using mos, of he English Grammars now in use, i
have found that scholars make much more rapid
progress in following this system than any Other.
The Improvements which Distinguish it should no, l.
considered bold and njudclous Innovations they ac-
cord with the opinions of learned men in ENGLAND
Scotland, an France, who have written on this
su'Jec.. ms system mas also lcen recommended
and adopted for many years in the schools some Of
he N. +. States, and has been approved by many

Prot. X Nulting 81 am exceedingly anxious tha,
your Grammar should he universally known. The
more use i, the better like it. have never seen
work ofthe kind which think can lie compared Ilh
II. have used all OF the other most popular systems,
but without being able 10 interest my school in the
subject, asl wished. But during the past " ner, with
only one of Nuttings grammars had no difficulty in
exciting such an in'ere>, as has led 10 the happie ;,
result; and so pleased are my class with the work,
that they have written several copies of it in fair
hand, and use i, as their guide. w. A. BACON.
Extract Of letter from ZApocK THOMPSON, dated
Burlington, Nov. ~, 1910.
benS engaged IN teaching, at the time Mr.. Nut
being satisfied by careful examination of the work,
that it possessed decided advantages over the Gram.
mars then IN use, introduced il into nv school i'm
me 'ately and after using constantly for more than
eight years, found no reason to change nv opinion
OF II. The copy Of the Grammar, in It's new FORM
which you pu, into my hands, has received only n
cursory examination, but sufficient 10 satisfy me that
ii is decided improvement on the original work.
The Introductory lessons are on plan, which have
tested by my own practice, and say from expe.
rence that know it 10 lie excellent, particularly for
young scholars. The change. and additions, in oihe,
decidedly superior 10 any other Grammar with which
l am acquainted; and think it nigh, lie introduce
| advan,ageously in al The schools in The Sra,e.
