The royal golden instructor for youth throughout the British-Dominions, in order to furnish them with a compleat knowledge of their mother-language: being a copious abridgment of the Royal universal British grammar and vocabulary; From which is drawn every Essential. The regular Words of each Part of Speech are separated from the Irregular. The Accidents (by which a Parallel is formed correspondent to the Latin, French, and other Tongues) are placed to an admirable Advantage. In this Work the Etymology of the English Language is amply illustrated: True Orthography or Spelling naturally follows, and the proper Accents accurately marked, &c. 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. Practice in Art removes Difficulty. By D. Farroe, M. D.
