Dr M'CULLOCH'S Manual of ENGLISH GRAMMAR.
18nio, 180 pages, price ls. 6d. bound. 21st Edition.
The object of this volume is to furnish a school grammar of the
English tOngue, sufficiently scientific in its principles and comprehen-
sive in its details to meet the exigencies of the present improved
methods of elementary teaching. An attempt is made to exhibit the
various branches of the science, not only in their proper order, but in
their due and relative proportions ; and the work will be found much
more full than any other in a department which has of late justly
attracted the particular attention of teachers — the derivation of the
language. The definitions and rules are expressed with the utmost
brevity and simplicity ; and the grammatical exercises have been
made as copious and varied as was compatible with the restricted
limits of a cheap school-book.
PREFIXES and AFFIXES of the English Language.
18mo, price 2d. in stiff wrapper. New Edition.
This little work is intended to initiate youth into the rudiments of
etymology, and is chiefly extracted from Dr M'Culloch's Manual of
English Grrammar.
In all the books of Dr M'Culloch's series, the important object of
exercising the juvenile mind by means of lessons on useful and inter-
esting subjects is steadily kept in view. Directions are given relative
to the mode of teaching, as well as tables and lists calculated to assist
in the process of instruction. On this point the Spectator newspaper,
when reviewing the series, remarked :— " In recommending these books,
it must not be conceived that we recommend them as likely to save
trouble to the teacher, or to operate by witchcraft on the pupil. At
their first introduction they will require some care on the part of the
master, as well as the exercise of some patience, to enable the pupils to
profit by the lessons. But this once done, their foundation is sound,
and their progress sure. And let both parents and teachers bear in
mind that these are the only means to acquire real knowledge."
