A more devoted student Of English Phil

be found in any country. For over thirty yesu

perseverance, and fidelity, designing to present.

and he has the command Of a grave and vigorocs

Encyclopedias Of the English language Too
copiOus and elaborate fer an ordinary manual Of
instruction, it presents q complete thessuyusoi
the knowledge. which is demanded by the ssu
dent in thorough work Of pathological references.
In the introduction, the author treats at length
the general science of grammar, the origin
language and the history and development Of Tho
Englise language. The body OF the work Is DIS
tributed under the four great divisions oforthogn-
ply, etymology, syntax, and prossdy. Each d
these divisions contains an exhaustive discussiea
of the various topics X includes, illustrated BY
large variety of examples, and conducted with
rare analytical acumen. The errors Of other
srammarians are pointed out with unslssping
vigilance, and often commented on In tone Of
severity, which serves to quicken tie attention
of the reader though he may deem it mos
piquant than is demanded by the occasion. We
cannot say that Mr.. Brown is never betrayed
into omissions and mistakes, similar to sho~
which he condemns with 90 much pungsncy
other writer's. But it cannot be denied hf
his work everywhere bears the marks of earase
and discriminating lsbor,-that it takes up al
the moot points Of English phlology with free
dom and intellisence,-that it presents an extep.
sive body Of principles and rules which are
standard authority in questions concerning good
English usage,-and that as it is the most con-
prehensive, it is also the most satisfactory tres'
Use on the subject to which the zeal Of gran
marians has yet given birth.
