A COMPENDIUM OF ANCIENT AND MODERN HISTORY, with Questions
adapted to the use of schools and academies. By M. J. Kerney.
This work has been introduced as a Text book into several colleges and
academies, in Maryland and the Western States.
The Compendium of History, by Mr. M. J. Kerney, has been in my
possession several months, and, after a careful reading, I believe
it to be a very useful book in the department of study to which it
belongs. I take pleasure in recommending it to teachers.

AN ABRIDGMENT OF MURRAY’S ENGLISH GRAMMAR, AND EXERCISE; with
Questions, adapted to the use of schools and academies; also,
an APPENDIX, containing Rules and Observations for Writing with
perspicuity and accuracy. By M. J. Kerney.
I have examined the Grammar prepared by Mr. M. J. Kerney, and recommend
it as an abridgment of the old standard of Murray, well calculated to
advance pupils in their grammatical studies.

“We take particular pleasure in recommending this abridgment to
the public. The notes and observations taken from the original are
copious and well selected. In point of arrangement, it is superior to
any other abridgment of Murray’s Grammar. It has exercises prefixed
to each chapter and section throughout the work, also to the rules
and notes of syntax. Thus, by combining the grammar and exercise, a
very desirable improvement has been effected; the pupil, at every
step of his progress, has a practical illustration of the principles
inculcated. The questions at the bottom of each page, and at the end
of each exercise, will give an increased value to the work, and will
be found convenient to the teacher, and useful for the pupil. By their
arrangement, and that of the exercises, much of that dryness which
scholars usually experience, while committing to memory the rules and
notes of grammar, will be removed; the study will become pleasing and
interesting.
“Besides embracing in a narrow compass all that is important or
essential in the original grammar and exercise, this abridgment
contains in its appendix several additional matters which will be
found highly interesting and useful to the learner: such as the Art of
Reasoning, Oratory, Elliptical Phrases, Popular Latin Phrases, with a
literal English translation.”――_U. S. C. Magazine._
