Blair gave his opinion of itin the following terms:—* Mr, Lindley Murray’s Grammar, with the Exercises and the Key in a separate volume, I esteem ag a most excellent performance. I think it superior to any work of that nature we have yet had; and am persuaded that it is, by much, the best Grammar of the English language extant. On Syntax, in particular, he hasshown a Wenderful degree of acuteness and precision, in ascertaining the propriety of language, and in rectifying the numberless crrors which writers are apt to commit. Most useful these books must cerlainly be to all who are applying themselves to the arts’of composition.” Guard. of Educ, Py “ Mr, Murtay’s Grammar, Exercises, and Key to the Exercises, form altogether, by far, the most complete and judicious analysis of the English language, that has hitherto been published.” Ann.

Rev. «* [need not acquaint the vublic with the merit and success of Lindley Murray’s English Grammar, which seems to have superseded every other.” Walker's Outl. of Eng. Grammar. ‘ «¢ We have been much pleased with the perusal of Mr. Murray’s English Exercises. They occupy, with distinguished excellence, a most important place in the science of the Englisk language.” M.Rev, ‘¢ ‘These exercises are, in general, well calculated to promote the purpose of information, not only with regard to orthography and punctuation, but also in point of phraseology, syntax, and precise perspicuity of composition.” Crit.
