y preparing this SERIES the main object has been,
l. FIRST: To provide for the use of schools set of
class bucks on this important branch of study,
SIMPLE IN Their arrangement more complete in their
parts and better adapted to the purposes Of public
instruction, than any heretofore in in our public
Semlnarles: and Secondly, TO give the whole uni.
form character by following, in EACH substantially,
the same arrangement OF parts, using the same
grammatical terms, and expressing the definitions,
rules, and leading parts, as nearly as the nature Of
the case would admit in the same language; and
thus TO render the study Of one Grammar more
it be, when the books used differ 80 widely from
each Other in their whole style and arrangement, 40
those now in use commonly do. BY this means il
isbeeved, much time and labor will be saved both
toteacheT and pupil analogy and pecuaritics
Of the different languages being constantly kept in
view, will show what's common TO oil, peculiar
to each,-ihe confusion and difficulty unnecessarily
occasoned by the use of elementary works, differing
will be avoded,-and the progress of The student
much more rapid, easy and satisfactory.
These works from complete series Of elementary
books, IN which the substance of the best Gramnars
of convenient size, handsomely printed on fine paper,
neatly and strongly bound and at moderate price.
The whole series is now submitted to the judgment,
Of discerning public and especially to teachers and
ing throughout the United States.

himself of their labors, on the other hand by siudr

by re-modelng, improving and illustrating the rest,
he has unquestionably succeeeeed in constructing the
