Lessons Are formed after all the Parts of Speech for parsing and challenging the foregoing Instructions. The Whole erects a Standard for the most easy and perfect Attainment and Understanding of the English-Language, with its grammatical Circumstances; and both Teacher and Learner will discover inexpressible Pleasure and Utility.
