School, Boston. Philadelphia, 1848. Price, 45 cts. This work has
already reached the sixth edition in the space of four months.
_From the Christian Review._
We like the book much--it is just what is wanted in our Grammar
Schools; and if accompanied by an abridgement, for the younger
pupils, which the author proposes in his preface to prepare, will
leave but little to be desired for the purposes of ordinary
instruction in Grammar, in our schools. The plan is simple, and is
developed with great consistency and logical ability.
_Copy of a Letter from Mr. Elbridge Smith, Principal of the
Cambridge High School._
Dear Sir--I have examined with great pleasure the Grammar which you
did me the honour to send me. I have no hesitation in saying that I
consider it _the best English Grammar in existence_. This, I am
aware, some will regard as extravagant praise. I am not, however,
alone in my opinion. Indeed, I know of no one, who has given
attention to the subject, who is not of the same opinion.
