use.

His plan may be best understood from his own words. A natural and easy gradation in introducing and connecting the different parts of speech, and in explaining the inflections and properties peculiar to each; presenting, progressively, that only which the learner is prepared to understand; and illustrating the rules and principles by examples and practical exercises, in a course of familiar Conversations; seemed to the author to be the method best adapted to remove this difficulty, and to excite attention and curiosity in those who are endeavoring to acquire a knowledge of English Grammar.' In conformity with these views the author has thrown the whole subject into a series of conversations, or dialogues, and it has been a special object with him to simplify and methodise his materials as far as possible, and to arrange them in a strictly analytical order. The plan seems to us good, and the outlines well drawn; those only who are experienced in teaching from it can tell whether all its parts are successfully executed.

The author pretends not to any new discoveries in Grammar. He is quite contented to take the language as it stands, and teach it according to principles, which nature and custom have long ago established. He aims to improve the manner of teaching, and to facilitate acquisition, but not to invent new instruments, nor unfold mysteries. His remarks on the subjunctive mood are judicious, and worthy of being carefully studied by many, who might deem it no compliment to their school learning to be sent back to their grammar. Among those who are accounted the best writers of the present day, nothing is more common than an incorrect use of the subjunctive mood. It is perpetually confounded with the indicative, and one is put for the other without discrimination. These sins against grammatical purity may easily be corrected by proper attention. The rules of distinction are broad and plain; they are well elucidated by Murray; and Mr Ingersoll, observing the errors into which authors are constantly falling, has labored to set the subject in a still stronger light, and to explain and impress it by further illustrations.

Pulaski Vindicated from an unsupported Charge, inconsiderately or malignantly introduced in Judge Johnson's Sketches of the Life and Correspondence of Gen. Greene. 8vo. pp. 38. Baltimore.

In his Life of General Green, Judge Johnson has spoken with severity of the conduct of the celebrated Polish Count Pulaski at the battle of Germantown. A friend of Pulaski now living has come forward to vindicate the character of the distinguished Pole, and prove the mistake of the biographer of Green. On a future occasion we shall return to the subject of this pamphlet. Count Pulaski, like Lafayette, engaged as a volunteer in our revolutionary cause, he fought for our liberties, and was slain in the struggle that procured our independence. This is enough to give his name a place in every American heart, and to demand for it a tribute of respectful and cherished remembrance Pulaski was a brave soldier, a foe to tyrants, and a devoted friend of freedom both in Europe and America.

It is a little remarkable, that in the State of Maryland, where the first act of religious toleration, which ever proceeded from a legislative body, was passed, there should exist to this day a religious test. In reading the debates of the Maryland legislature during the last two or three years, it would seem as if the state of public sentiment, feeling, and intelligence were going back again to the ages of darkness, instead of keeping onward with the progress of truth and improvement. Mr Worthington has shown, in the most convincing manner, how repugnant a religious test is to the American Constitution, and to the Constitutions of all the States but two or three. He mentions a singular_ fact in regard to North Carolina. A person was recently elected to the legislature of the state, whose seat was attempted to be vacated because he refused to submit to the test. But it was determined that the state test was repugnant to the Constitution of the United States, and he retained his seat; he was a Jew.'

In Maryland are many Jews of high respectability and influence in Society; some of them are wealthy, and contribute their due share to the support of government; and in all respects they have as much interest in the civil and political institutions of the state, and as much at stake in the good management of public concerns, as any other class of citizens. And yet the Constitution of Maryland refuses to these persons any participation in the govern

ment which they help to support, and by which their rights are maintained, and their property secured. How does this agree wish the basis of freedom and equal rights on which our political fabric is founded? The Jew is free to pay taxes, but he is not free to think on religious subjects as his conscience dictates. For assuming such a liberty he must suffer the penalty of being deprived of one half of his privileges as a citizen. This is worse than absurd; it is a reproach to the age, and a foul blot on the charter of every free government, which suffers it to exist there. A bill has been several times brought before the legislature of Maryland, proposing to abolish the test, and as it has been urged chiefly on the ground of relieving the Jews, it is commonly known by the name of the Jew Bill. The warmth with which Mr Worthington takes up the cause in his speech, is creditable to his feelings and patriotic principles
