This Grammar is a great improvement on the tedious dry catechisms of grammar, which are the dread of children. Too much is not attempted; the science of language is not generally attractive to children, unless conveyed in a plain and easy style.

Miss Corner's "Play Grammar" is beyond all comparison the best contrivance we have seen for teaching this difficult task to young children.-Reader.

It may be truly asserted, that this is one of the best First Books ever published. The numerous illustrations, (over 400 in Book 1. and 250 in Book 2.) are of great importance, tending not only to amuse, but to impress upon the memory the name and character of the objects and common things intended to be conveyed. By this most gradual and simple process, the child is led on to form an entire sentence, and that easily comprehended, and always of interest. Getting further advanced, the numerous illustrations are severally explained and coloured; hence the knowledge and amusement of the child is greatly increased. The Clock, and idea of numbers, are also admirably taught.
