I am fully
satisfied, that it is the _best form_ in which Murray's principles have
been given to the public. The lectures are ample, and given in so
familiar and easy language, as to be readily understood, even by a
_tyro_ in grammar.
I feel it due to you to say, that I commenced the examination of your
work, under _a strong prejudice against it,_ in consequence of the
numerous "improved systems" with which the public has been inundated, of
late, most of which are by no means improvements on Murray, but the
productions of individuals whom a "_little grammar_ has rendered
grammatically insane." My convictions, therefore, are the result of
_investigation_. I wish you, Sir, success in your publication.
Respectfully, EBER. WHEATON,
Pr. of Mechanics' Society School
With the opinion of Mr. Wheaton respecting Mr. Kirkham's English Grammar,
we heartily concur. NATHAN STARK, Pr. Acad.
(Rev.) JOHN JOHNSTON,
Newburgh, Aug. 4, 1829. (Rev.) WM. S. HEYER,
From the Rev. C.P. McIlvaine, and others.
So far as I have examined the plan of grammatical instruction by Samuel
Kirkham I am well satisfied that _it meets the wants_ of elementary
schools in this branch, and deserves to be patronised.
