Grammar now offered to theE nglish Public is designed both for the beginner and for the more advanced student. To the former, a few observations on the right mode of using it, may not be superfluous. A mong the various methods of learning a foreign language, that of beginning to read (and to speak, if there is an opportunity for it), after a short grammatical preparation, seems to be not only the most agreeable, but the most expeditious. To learn a number of minute rules and exceptions at a time when the student is yet unable to form, or even to understand, a short simple sentence, can have no other effect than that he will half forget them before they can be applied. For the general principles of a language, like all generalization, can engage attention, and be fully understood, only in as far as they explain and classify particulars with which we are previously acquainted. A ccordingly, the best preparation, both for understanding and remembering a rule, is to have previously felt its want, so that on receiving it we at once see its practical utility.
