"HAVING already expreffed, at large, our approbation of Mr. Murrays's English Grammar, we have only, in announcing this Abridgment, to obferve, that it appears to us to be made with great judgment; and that we do not know a performance of this kind better fitted for the ufe of children."

Analytical Review, Odober, 1798.

"English Grammars are now fo numerous, that felection becomes difficult; but Mr. Murray's Abridgment is certainly one of those that are well executed."

British Critic, September, 1798.

"Mr. Murray's English Grammar, English Exercifes, and Abridgment of the Grammar, have long been in high estimation."

Guardian of Education, July, 1803.

"This little manual has experienced an acceffion of Eighteen pages. Brevis effe laboro, obfcuris f, may be faid of other Abridgments; but with as fmall a fhare of truth, in the prefent inftance, as in any we ever witneffed."

Monthly Mirror, December, 1803.

"The tutors (adds Mr. Murray) who may adept this Abridgment merely as an introduction to the larger grammar, will perceive in it a material advantage, which other fhort works

do not poffefs; namely, that the progress of their pupils will be accelerated, and the pleasure of ftudy increafed, when they find themselves advanced to a grammar, which exactly pursues the plan of the work they have ftudied. The remark is certainly just and well founded."

Monthly Review, November, 1797.
