"Blest he, though undistinguished from the crowd
By wealth or dignity, who dwells secure,
Where man, by nature fierce, has laid aside

His fierceness, having learnt, though slow to learn,
The manners and the arts of civil life.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR;

INCLUDING THE PRINCIPLES OF

GRAMMATICAL ANALYSIS.

"The design kept in view has been to give the learner an accurate system of grammatical definitions and principles, which, though applied in the first instance to English, hold good, in the main, of the other languages of the same family. The syntactical portion of the present work derives many of its leading features from the principles developed by Becker in his German Grammar."-Extract from Preface.

"It is something to be able to say of an English Grammar, that it is not a needless addition to the excessive stock of such books already on hand; and to this commendation Mr. Mason is fairly entitled. In accuracy of definition-of which he rightly makes much account and precision in general, he unquestionably excels. He is also perspicuous. The space devoted to the Analysis of Sentences constitutes a valuable feature in the book." Athenæum, Oct. 9, 1858.
