- This work recommends itself particularly to the attention of every American
student who " glories in his A glo-Saxon descent" 1 or Teutonic lineage, as well as of all who desire an acquaintance wi h a language which lies as the foundation of the English, and throws a light upon its elements and structure, derivable from no other source. Of the importance and interesting nature of the study there can be no doubt, and we agree with those who think that the time is coming when it will be considered " utterly disgrace ful for any well bred Englishman or American " to have neglected it. With regard to the merits of Dr. Klipstein's Grammar, we will only say, that it has been already adopted at a text-book in some of the leading Institutions of our country.

The Ethnology of Europe is succincUv, but clearly illustrated, the Anglo-Saxon language completely analysed, revealing the utmost harmony of combination from its elements, its forms and roots compared with those in kindred dialects and cognate tongues, its po.-itioo in the Teutonic family and Indo-Germanic range established, and the genuine relation of the English toils great parent properly se.t forth. To those who are fond of the comparative study of language, the Glossary will prove an invaluable aid, apart from its particular object. Hi. Natale Sancti Gregorii Papae.
