, Professor of Intellectual Philosophy in Yale College._ "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." _From _JOSEPH HAVEN_, Professor of Mental Philosophy in Amherst College._ "As a manual and brief summary of the whole range of speculative inquiry, I know of no work which strikes me more favorably." * * * * * A Digest of English Grammar.

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.

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. _From Forty-four Teachers of Public Schools, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania._ "The undersigned have examined Covell's Digest of English Grammar, and are of opinion that in the justness of its general views, the excellence of its style, the brevity, accuracy, and perspicuity of its definitions and rules, the numerous examples and illustrations, the adaptation of its synthetical exercises, the simplicity of its method of analysis, and in the
