A Grammar of any language, adapted for a beginner ought to be brief and perspicuous, containing only the general and more useful principles of such language. It ought to be accompanied with easy extracts for practice, as well as a copious vocabulary. At the same time, the shortest Grammear is too long for a beginner: therefore, those parts absolutely necessary for the first reading ought to be rendered more prominent, by the use of a larger type. Lastly the work ought to be confined entirely to its legitimate purpose the instructing of beginners; not deviating into ingenious metaphysical and etymological discussions however interesting in their proper place: nor should it be over-crowded with superfluous paradigms of verbs,&c. so as to swell up the volume to an undue extent.
