"It is the only book translated from the German which professes to give
an account of the recent German systems which seems adapted to give any
intelligible information on the subject to a novice."
_From _GEO. P. FISHER_, Professor of Divinity in Yale College._
"It is really the best Epitome of the History of Philosophy now
accessible to the English student."

A Digest of English Grammar.
BY L. T. COVELL.
12mo. 219 pages. Price 60 cents.
This work is designed as a text-book for the use of schools and academies;
it is the result of long experience of an eminently successful teacher, and
will be found to possess many peculiar advantages.
The work is both synthetical and analytical, and its principles are
strictly practical; the different subjects are carefully separated and
methodically arranged, so that all difficulty as to what belongs to
Etymology, Syntax, and Analysis, is entirely removed, and the latter, which
is very properly placed in the first part of Syntax, is rendered quite as
simple and easy of comprehension as the most plain portion of grammar.
One subject is taken up at a time, and, when fully explained, models of
Analysis are given, and examples for practice follow.
The principles of the work are sound; the definitions are direct, short,
and accurate.
The rules, though ample, are few, plain, and concise; and the language
throughout the work is simple, clear, and expressive.
The method of treating the Elementary Sounds, is that which is now highly
approved.
The principles of Derivation, and of Orthographic Analysis, are brought
within the comprehension of the youngest learner.

of analysis, and in the
