Each of these Numbers was all nonsense.

Do I say, then, that the Catholics ought not to be put on a footing with the rest of us? No: but, I say, that they never will as long as the system shall last; never until there be a

at present, this would not be convenient to the author. He must have time for other things. While he neglects not the "mint and cummin," he must attend to the "weightier matters "of the law." While he fails not to write his Monthly Tracts, he must not forget his Weekly Duty towards the System, especially now that Corruption herself is at her wit's end.

This is a work, which he cannot suffer to go out of his hands with a single doubt in his mind as to any part of it. It would, however, have been ready for the press before this time, had it not been for the last-mentioned work, which he had promised to so many kind friends. All that he can say, is, that he thinks to have the French Grammar out during the summer. But, let it be borne in mind that the main business of his life. is to watch the motions of Corruption. He has been dogging her steps for many years. She has, now-and-then, turned upon him and given him a bite ; but, now that he sees the bloody monster hemmed up in a corner, looking about her in vain for an out-let whereby to escape; when he sees her sides heave and her jaws filled with foam, he cannot quit her for long at a must not expire without a last blow time.

“The rising generation wants a New Dictionary, damnably."

JOHN BULL.

So it does, for without such help how can people comprehend the delusive jargon of Hireling Writers, Timeserving Priests, Mock Representatives, and Corrupt Lawyers. The Grammar of Mr. COBBETT is an excellent manual, but it wants a Political Dictionary for a companion. This desideratum, it is hoped, the present performance will supply, and every word and phrase in the Vocabulary of Corruption be so fully explained, that neither man, woman, child, nor even an insane person can be hereafter misled by Social Order, Blasphemy, Immorality, Sedition, and other bugbears devised by Boroughmongers and Sinecurists, to alarm the ignorant and timid part of the community.

MPROVED GRAMMAR of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE. In which the Genius of the English Tongue is especially attended to, and all imitations of the Greek and Latin Grammars discarded; adapted to the comprehension of persons desirous of teaching themselves, and principally intended for the use of the Working Classes of Society. To which is added, a brief view of the Discoveries of Mr. Horne Tooke, on the formation of Language. By William Greatheed Lewis.

In this Work the Author has pointed out much false doctrine and many erroneous principles in the popular Grammar of Mr. COBBETT. This Grammar, like Mr. Cobbett's, is intended for the use of the working classes of Society. The Author has, however, refrained from introducing Political Remarks, on the supposition that such remarks would be calculated to divert the attention of learners from the subject more immediately under their consideration.

Number III. will be published on Saturday, April 28, and a Number on each succeeding Saturday, till completed. The whole will be comprised in Six Numbers. Being closely printed, and in small type, this Work will contain more than is usually to be found in volumes of three times its size. In the Sixth and last Number, the Title, Table of Contents, Preface, List of Errata, &c. will be included.
