GRAMMAR" by Joel Chaplin. GA mo. PIP 2ls Sold
by NJ. H. Newman & Coz Another protest against
the authority OF Lndley Murray as oracle of gram
mar 1t abounds in ingenious pathological analyses,
which often present valuable suggestions. The
author has evidently devoted himself with great
zeal TO the study Of language, and many of his
remarks are original and forcble. As textbook,
his work is deficient IN ceaness and simplicity, and
exhibits too rampant spin, OF controversy Here
quently INDUCES IN doubtful and unauthorized forms
Of expression, showing, that whatever may be his sa-
gacily as a theorist, he has not attained practical
mastery Of his native tongue. We think his grammar
may be consulted to advantage by the student IN
phiolocy. but il Is not adapted 10 general use as a
ddactic treatise.

volume of the French Historical Series published by
Harper Brothers Ii is an uncOmmonly interest
ing piece Of biography, the author having invested
the subject which has tempted many pens, with
the charm OF his animated and transparent style, If
not with the grace of absolute novelty He presents
the character Of Josephine IN very favorable light,
strongly contrasting her afeetonate and unselhsh
spirit with the INSCRIPTIONS ambition OF Napoleon.
This volume. with the lives Of Marie AniOlnetto and
Madame Roland, which have preceded 1t, composes a
trio Of historical portraits which no less attract
i've on account of their subjects than the manner IN
which they are treated No juvenile library eSpe-
cally should be without them.
