A PHILOLOGIAN'S GRAMMAR.
The advertisement side of the same paper announces a new " Grammar of Grammars ;" which certainly intimates concords never contemplated by any previous grammarian, if its contents at all answer the profession of the newspaper.
" Nouvelle Grammaire des Grammaires, ou 11.6sume des meilleurES traites de l'art correetement la languc Frangms : par P. Pons, Professor du Langues.
The John Bull has commonly talked of the Theatre Francaise, &c. (which, considering his intimacy with M. DOUVILLE, is sufficiently remarkable); but such blunders as we have cited in an eminent French journal, and purporting to come from the philologian himself, really pass "le jeu." We have, however, made the general remark, that the worst-worded and most ungrammatical advertisements in the newspapers, are those of the professors of education. Observation will show the correctness of our assertion.
