parsing adopted, it may perhaps be affirmed, from many years' experience, that they have met with extensive approbation, and have invested with peculiar interest, a study usually thought by young persons to be dry and uninteresting. This little volume may be useful to those, who have to perform the arduous task of tuition with but an inefficient knowledge of their mother-tongue. The Author has endeavoured to make the work explain itself; and it is hoped that the Explanatory Notes appended wherever a difficulty, not previously solved, may exist, will tend to render the system of parsing easy of attainment.
