THE REJECTED WIFE. By Mrs. ANN S. STEPHENS,
Author of 'Fashion and Famine,' 'The Old Homestead,' 'Mary
Derwent,' &c. T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Chestnut street,
Philadelphia.
A novel in which are depicted the early days of Benedict Arnold. The
characters are well drawn and sustained, and the tale one of
considerable interest. The fright and agony of the fair, young, deserted
wife are delicately and skilfully drawn; most of the scenes in which she
is introduced are full of nature and simple pathos. The pictures of
Puritan manners, lives, and thoughts, are graphic and truthful. We
commend the book to all lovers of a good, pure, domestic novel.
PINNEO'S ANALYTICAL GRAMMAR OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE:
Designed for Schools. By T. S. PINNEO, M. A., M. D.,
Author of 'Primary Grammar,' 'Hemans Reader,' &c. Revised and
enlarged. New York: Clark, Austin & Smith; Cincinnati: W. B. Smith
& Co.
This work is intended to succeed the author's 'Primary Grammar,' being,
however, complete in itself. It presents a full view of the
well-established principles of the English language, in their practical
bearing on _analysis_ and _construction_. No space is wasted on the
discussion of curious or unimportant points, which, however interesting
to the critical student, always encumbers an elementary work. Simplicity
in definitions, examples, exercises, and arrangement, has been carefully
studied. The exercises are full and numerous; a large portion of them
designed to teach, at the same time, the _nature_, _properties_, and
_relations_ of words, and the _analysis_ and _construction_ of
sentences.
'Model Class-Books on the English Language have been produced by
Professor Pinneo, and they should be adopted as standard text-books in
the schools of the United States.'-_Educational Reports_.
