PREFACE.

The Reader will perceive that the difference between this edition, and the original abridgment, published by Murray, consists of three things-errors corrected-redundances omitted-and additions made.

In former editions, the connection which ought to subsist between the parts of a subject is interrupted by definitions in punctuation, explanations of the use of capital letters, marks of reference, &c., being arranged under Prosody, to which they do not belong this, and many verbal, and other minor errors are corrected.

Among the redundances omitted may be mentioned one of the two definitions of every part of speech, and many others of secondary importance.

The additions consist of the four verbs conjugated through the subjunctive mood, numerous explanatory notes, or such as contain additional information, a succinct account of English Versification, and a great increase of exercises in Orthography, Syntax, and Punctuation.

The Editor leaves the work in the hands of the discerning public, conscious that it will be adopted or neglected in proportion to its merits.
