That InsCriDtiOn.


For q Sunday-mOrning article, We take
Up the subject Of the mcable controversy
which is now going on between the vene-
yablc DR.. ROBERT RyLAND and DR.. LoNG.
when DR.. fYLAND stiked his cause upon
She accuracy Of the language used by dis
tlnguished men In writing not upon gram
Dlatical points but upon scientific and lite
rary subjects. he surrendered his cause.
lie ought to have appealed 10 authority.
II it were permitted to us TO express our
opinion on the point at issue, We should
gay that there is no room for contest {:
that DIR. RYLASD is right; and that ms
critics are wrong.
There Is not one man in dozen who Is
capable Of discussing questions involving
che niceties Of grammar. A distinguished
New Highlander gave one Of his books the
title "Ten Times One is Ten," either TO do
what he could TO teach the public that il is
wrong to say "ten times one are ten," OF
for some other reason. But although
clearly 10 the right, he has failed TO con-
vince the general public. Mr. PENDLE-
Ton, OF this city, uses good grammar in bis
arithmetic; but most ari.hmetics still use,
we think, the formula, "twice one are
two" "twlce two are four, =" five times
two are ten," &C., &c. Why? Because
arithmctics are not written TO teach gram
mar; and their authors have not had their
attention called to the error. The same
remark Is true as TO the authors quoted by
DIR. LoNo: they were not so much
as thinking Of grammatical questions
when they penned the sentences he quotes.
BLAIR, IN his Rhetoric, quotes from the
most famous OF writer's in order to point
oat their blunders. In the case under
consideration, the blunders Of celebrated
writers arc quoted In order TO justify an
error. II was had enough to make such
mistake. II is wrong TO attempt to prove
that II Is right. All that ought TO be said
Of II by way Of extcnuaiion Is that many
men bad before made the same or similar
error. But the men who make such blum
ders Are not capable Of teaching English
grammar, nor skilled In rhetoric. They
may be aud no doubt are capable of teach
fng more important branches Of learning;
but not those.
Instead, however, OF arguing the point
inyolyed In this discussion, we viii con-
tent ourselves with citing the highest au-
