To which is added, an essay on the present modes of teaching; and also, a plan of an original work, now in great forwardness, clearly pointing out the facility with which the fluency of speech may be acquired. Who, who would live, my Narva, just to breathe This idle air, and indolently run, Day after day, the still returning round Of life's mean offices, and sickly joys?
