They should also be frequently required to write criticisms, that may lead them to apply the principles and rules which are stated.

The sale of a large edition of the following work in less than eighteen months'from its publication, and the testimony home to its utility, by many instructers, who have adopted it as a text book, have led to the publi cation of a second edition. By increasing the amount on a page, and also the number of pages, the work has been considerably enlarged, and it is hoped improved. The exercises for the study of style which have been added, will, it is thought, be regarded as highly impor tant.
