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.

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 plan of its arrangement, this work surpasses any other Grammar now before the public; and that in all respects it is most admirably adapted to the use of schools and academies."

From John M. Wolcott, A.M., Principal and Superintendent of Ninth Ward School, Pittsburg, Pa.

"Covell's Digest of English Grammar not only evinces the most unceasing labor, the most extensive research, the most unrelaxing effort, and the most devoted self-sacrificing study of its author, but it is the most complete, the most perfect, and, to me, the most satisfactory exposition of English Grammar that has come to my notice. It appears to me that every youth aspiring to become master of the English language, from the rudimental principles to the full, round, beautiful, faultless, perfect period, will make this volume his 'vade mecum.'"
