The learner must repeat these exercises until they are printed on his bra, (so that the printed exercises can be dispensed with,) without regard to the length of time re- quired to commit them ; for unless this be effected, no at- tempt can be successful. Inpuction signifies leading into knowledge, and this can be effected only by a constant repetition of the exercises. Reasoning, (or comparing,) is the only Key, which, fitting all the wards in the lock, opens the door of the Temple of Science, no matter on what subject the reasoning may be employed. 2 ! _ The use of mathematical signs for the solution of oram- matical problems will be found of the highest value in these exercises, as they will enable the scholar to prove his ana- lysis and parsing to be correct, and render all disputes impossible. S. Barrerr. No. 8 COLLEGE PLace, N. Y., — JUNE, 1869 : > . OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We are well pleased with another part of his plan of instruction—he not only conveys a knowledge of the principles of the language, but endeavors also to convey some idea of its beauty and harmony. The English is really an elegant and harmonious tongue; but by an entire neglect of its prosody and poetry, it is, in the mouths of the great mass of the population, a rough uncouth jargon. HAMDEN SIDNEY COLLEGE. This work comes to us recommended by the highest authorities in litera- ture on this continent as the simplest, and consequently the best system of Grammar ever published. He has brought together their correspondencies with marvellous ingenuity, and has constructed a plan which is the Key to the Grammar of all Languages. We are happy to learn that Mr. Barrett is meeting with that favorable reception to which his meritorious labors original ideas and method of instruction eminently entitle him.—MoNTREAL HERALD. �

GRAMMAR is written on the face of nature. We are sur rounded by millions of worlds in rapid motion. Now, MATTER, with quantity and QUALITY, is nouns and pronouns. Adjectives. Inu MOTION or REST, with MANNER, TIME and PLACE, Verbs. Adverbs. And on this broad and natural foundation, as a base, the superstructure of grammar has been erected by all nations. The Romans and English have instituted a set of ques- tions for classifying all words. Lat. Quantum? Qualis Quis ? Quid ? Quando ? Quomodo ? Ubi? Eng. How many? What kind? Who did it? What is done? When? How? Where? Words. Two, Young Boys Walk Now, Slowly, There. spook ¢ Adi: Adj. Noun (nom.) Verb. Ady. Ady. Adv. _The above questions may be answered as well by de- pendent Phrases and Propositions, having a substantive, adjectwe or adverbial signification.

Suspend the large chart on the right hand side of the blackboard, and on, or near it. 9%d,. Furnish each student with a copy of the lessons on “ Oral and Ob- ject Teaching.” 3d, ‘‘ Now (let the) two young boys walk slowly there,” during the performance, in their proper per- sons, suiting the actions to the words. Let tlfe teacher explain that the human head is the only q apparatus tor “manufacturing” language. The brain is the “sensitive plate” on which all impressions are written by the organs of sense, and expressed by the organs of speech. Memory isthe retaining of these ideas; and think- ing, is recalling them to mind. These émpressions constitute the sw total of all knowl- edge.—Classifying these ideas is scvence—EXPRESSING THEM CORRECTLY Is GRAMMAR—expressing them gracefully is rhetoric—comparing them is reasoning or logic, and con- necting them, or constructing propositions and sentences, is composition. cach Pp inanimate pmb naaabsniio sean tin aac le Rthgnte Sie nd pee Bee �_ As this plan dramatizes the theory of grammar. re- ducing it to dialogues, in which the teacher and pupils each act their parts, the teacher will ask the following ques- tions : What is an object /—an impression ?—an expression /— an idea ?—a word ? &e. The class reading the responses in concert from page 2d, the teacher explaining the relation between words, ideas and objects. The class will now proceed to scan the Burial of Sir John Moore, analyze and parse the words in the title page, com- paring the sentence, proposition, and each idea and word _ in it, with its correspondent in the key, thus: TracHER— Now ?” Crass—‘ Walk now” equals (=) “moves slowly.” If “ slowly” is an adverb, modifying “ moves,” then “ now’ 18 an adverb modifying “ walk.” TRACHER— lwo ? Crass—“ Two boys” equals (=) ‘“ cold day.” If “ cold” is an adjective qualifying day, then “two” is an adjective qualifying boys, &e., going through with each word in the same manner. . They will now turn to page 6, and go over the dialogue, thus : Tea.— Word? Orass—‘ Now.” Tra.—Relation? Crass _“ Walk now.” Tea. Idea? Crass—‘7rme,—Now is an adverb of time, telling us when they walk,” etc., dis- posing of cach word in the same manner, going over it again and again, until the lesson is perfectly engraved on the memory. In the same manner go over the rest of the exercise from the 3d to the 15th page, the class reading in concert. By this process, commutting, reciting, applying, and understanding the definitions and rules of grammar are combined in the same operation, and the student is com- pelled to teach himself, saving half the labor and time to both teacher and student, usually spent in learning it in the old way. � Aa tas PG DA, 20 ¢ ARR 8 Has PAP HP say Fine, a o> �ORAL AND OBJECT TEACHING OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR. oR pire eretty me " i U 1 N 5 u SQ = Sy = ee ~ = om Sr AO Nehaaliatis ae Havant AEN oe ae LUTTRy SO we ty =e ey TAR we — cy — Sa 2 Va Gi 40 NOISSAudxJ III � DEFINITION OF TERMS. ; Oxsects—Things obvious to the senses. | Impression—A picture of these objects on the bra.n.

The Key to the Grammar of all Languages contains a complete classification of all the principles of grammar ; and these Lessons enable the student to acquire the princt- ples by applying them in practice. � 16 ORAL TEACHING OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR. There is no sentence, proposition, phrase, idea or word in any language that is not equal (—) te one of those in the ey. The learner must repeat these exercises until they are printed on his bra, (so that the printed exercises can be dispensed with,) without regard to the length of time re- quired to commit them ; for unless this be effected, no at- tempt can be successful. Inpuction signifies leading into knowledge, and this can be effected only by a constant repetition of the exercises. Reasoning, (or comparing,) is the only Key, which, fitting all the wards in the lock, opens the door of the Temple of Science, no matter on what subject the reasoning may be employed. 2 ! _ The use of mathematical signs for the solution of oram- matical problems will be found of the highest value in these exercises, as they will enable the scholar to prove his ana- lysis and parsing to be correct, and render all disputes impossible.

We are well pleased with another part of his plan of instruction—he not only conveys a knowledge of the principles of the language, but endeavors also to convey some idea of its beauty and harmony. The English is really an elegant and harmonious tongue; but by an entire neglect of its prosody and poetry, it is, in the mouths of the great mass of the population, a rough uncouth jargon. HAMDEN SIDNEY COLLEGE. This work comes to us recommended by the highest authorities in litera- ture on this continent as the simplest, and consequently the best system of Grammar ever published. He has brought together their correspondencies with marvellous ingenuity, and has constructed a plan which is the Key to the Grammar of all Languages. We are happy to learn that Mr. Barrett is meeting with that favorable reception to which his meritorious labors original ideas and method of instruction eminently entitle him.—MoNTREAL HERALD. �a pei OPINONS OF THE PRESS— Continued. The author of this work, having spent a long and laborious life in lingual and philological studies, has at length removed the veil which has so long obscured the philology of the Greek and Roman rhetoricians, and has intro- duced a new system, which, for facility of acquisition and utility in practice, stands unrivalled io the annals of literature.— CINCINNATI ENQUIRER. A NEW SYSTEM OF GRAMMAR This volume makes the nearest approach te a common sense view of the principles of grammar we have ever met with, and is consequently applica- ble to all other regular languages as well as English. He has prepared in this work a scheme of gtammar that is besed upon the only principle that will ever make the science intelligible to the general mind, and the only principle that is constant, consistent, and alike in all languages, It was a unique idea on the part of Mr. Barrett to apply algebraic equa- tions to the resolution of grammatical problems, as it fortifies beyond assault the proofs of his accuracy in laying down the principles which constitute his system, and justifies the revolution he has attempted in the domains of grammar.

Show morea pei OPINONS OF THE PRESS— Continued. The author of this work, having spent a long and laborious life in lingual and philological studies, has at length removed the veil which has so long obscured the philology of the Greek and Roman rhetoricians, and has intro- duced a new system, which, for facility of acquisition and utility in practice, stands unrivalled io the annals of literature.— CINCINNATI ENQUIRER. A NEW SYSTEM OF GRAMMAR This volume makes the nearest approach te a common sense view of the principles of grammar we have ever met with, and is consequently applica- ble to all other regular languages as well as English. He has prepared in this work a scheme of gtammar that is besed upon the only principle that will ever make the science intelligible to the general mind, and the only principle that is constant, consistent, and alike in all languages, It was a unique idea on the part of Mr. Barrett to apply algebraic equa- tions to the resolution of grammatical problems, as it fortifies beyond assault the proofs of his accuracy in laying down the principles which constitute his system, and justifies the revolution he has attempted in the domains of grammar. It may awaken thoughtful people, at any rate, to a fuller con- sciousness of the necessity that exists for an improved method of getting at the grammatical structure of our language, and that must inevitably lead to the adoption of Mr. Barrett’s principles.
