PREFACE.

MY design is so directly unfolded in the titlepage, that it precludes the necessity of an elaborate recommendation of my book to the perusal of those who set a proper value upon sciences which maintain the highest prominence in the intellectual attainments of our agespeaking and writing with ease, freedom, and accuracy! Read this book, my friend! nay, if you are pretty conversant with the leading principles of our language, start not back at so familiar a request! There may be something in

it worth attention-perhaps, something new!
