FIFTEEN LESSONS ON TtiE ANALOGY AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LAN GUAGE , for the use of adult persons who haye neglected the study of Grammar . BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons in this Work , are intended solely for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore , of all those hair ' s-breadth distinctioas and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled , in . this Work from the folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Works on Grammar , are exchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle , fonaded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language ; and applicable to all Languages . The necessary Divisions and SnbdivisionB are rationally accounted for ; and the Principles of tlniversal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that two and two make four .- ' " - . . ' ¦ ¦ ; : ' ¦ . : V- V , V- " : ' \ ' ¦ ¦ . <¦ - . - .. " . •' - ;¦¦ : '" ¦ - ; , ' ' ¦ .- ' :: ¦ - In Syntax , the formation :. of the English Language is exclusively consulted , withoutany ^^ unneces sary reference to other Languages . A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown to be littlebetter than aheap of senseless Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles ^ and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the Use of this Book and its accompanying Exercises , any person mayV in a few weeksi acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any of the disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System ^ prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THEPRESS , Seleoted from a host of similar ones , may . convey some idea of the publio estimation in which this Work is holden ;—*• Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out thel absurdities with which it is en 0 umbered . i _ Justly condemning the too . frequent praotice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to memory as tasks , he inaintains that the only proper way to the memory ; is through the understanding . . . . It Is but justice to him to say that , in a few pages , he gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the structure ef the English language than can be found n some very elaborate works .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SY ^ liACUM ; Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise , from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from yyphiltic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronio debility , by which the coustitntion is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhoodinto 4 pernicious application of those inherent rights which'nature wisely instituted for the preservation , of her species ; bringing oa premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one carriea with hinj the form and aspectof other men , but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early ^ youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? Hownianyat eighteen receivethe impression of the ; seeds of Syphilitic disease itself *! the" oonsequences . of which travel but of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiness ; undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse . -The fearfully abused powors of the human Generati ? e System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that ia most certain to be successful . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which ia intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate iudulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as ; the various affections of the nervous system , bbstinate gleets , excesses , ^ regularity , obstructiona of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotehcyi barrenness , &c . . ' ..: ' ¦ y : ' . : ' ; . ¦ * ¦¦¦ /¦ ¦;¦ ' ::- ;" :- . ¦' . . •' ; • ¦ : ;> As ' nothing can be better adapted to htv and nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly esfficacious in all inward wastiags , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in ail cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowness of spirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melancholy | and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually moved by its use . And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood ; and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maternity . : v : ' . ¦ ; ¦ ' - ¦;¦ .

"Gentlemen , —Were I to enumerate all the Cures and Benefits obtained by takiug this famous remedy ( and are offered to me ) , it would require a book as large as a Church Bible to write them in ! Not a day passes 'but some one comes to acknowledge the blessings of a cure—some one being made free in their limbsfrom pain and rheumatism , some cured of sick head-ache of long standing , some from violent bilious attacks , others cured of the ague , of swelled legs , and sore legs * for curing ; the palpitation of the heart , and , wonderful to relate ! old men and women say , since they took Old Parr ' s Pills , they have en j oy ed better health , better spirits , better appetite , had more nerve and strength than they had experienced for the past twenty years , and that Old Parr is like new life to them , for they feel all those delightful changes in the system . Ia fact , these wonderful Pills appear to contain all the virtues , of the ' pothecaries Bnop , without haying to go through all the regular doses of draughts and boluses .

      Beotheb Chartists , having been elected by your saffage to meet in Burnley this day , Dec IS , 1841 , for the purpose of taking into our most Berioos consideration the propriety and necessity of establishing a paper for the nerthern division of this county , in order tkat we may more effectually diffuse that political knowledge amongst the working and middle classes of society , whkfeis ^ o essentially necessary for the political redemption -of our common country ; we , therefore , came to An unanimous decision to , use our vtaost exertions to carry out the above-named object ; Tre , therefore , appeal to you- the members of the National Charter Association in North Lancashire , to giT » us all the support yon possible can . We are swixe that a great number of you are out of employment ,

      and hundreds of the members of our association are in -a state of utter starvation ; and that misery , destitution , fftwi -wretchedness are the order of the day amongst the "working class , whilst the privileged classes are living in luxuriant idleness , ' —are consuming the wealth prodnced by . the working men , whilst they add nothing to the national wealth . We behold a Queen adorned hi all the pomp of royalty , idolised by the nincompoops of a dissolute aristocracy , dressed in all the gew-gaw toppings of a tomfool , taking annually from the ? the pockets of the people upwards of £ . 500 , 000 for her support , or as m as a man could earn in 20 , 000 yean , if he received f er his labour ten shillings per week , or £ ? fr per year , whilst thousands of British subjects are living upon no more than one penny per day per bead ; and yet we are told by the Iron Hake , and the Spinning-benny Baronet , that there is no distress existing amongst the working class . These men have wrung fortunes from the blood , bones , aad sinews-of

      tbe working class , and yet they can tell us that they intend to bring forward no measure for our relief , but Gcat of a system of transportation ; but , fellow-working men , we appeal to you for support , that -we may be SBabled to carry "into every nook , comer , and cranny of car country , the principle of our gloriour Charter , and enable us to destroy that factl « n that would now , be-¦ ... - cause you are poor , send you like felons into a foreign country , th » t you might eke out a miserable existence Tea , Englishmen , you are to be torn from all that is < iear to you ; you must no more look upon the cottage , that gave you birth—no more view the fields in which yon have rambled in childhood—no moze associate irith the playmates of your boyhood , but you must be -separated from all the endearing ties of nature , la order to ^ s&tiify toe -desfcrsyiHg propensities of a crew ? - of -wholesale robbers and brigands , who live and fatten upon corruption ; , but thank God their occupation , like Othello ' s , is gone .

      Working men , you all determine no longer to submit to" their tyrannical svay , but in the dignity of your manhood , you have nobly demanded your Charter , and lave sworn before God , and on the altar of your country ^ that you will not rest satisfied until you have obtained your Charter—the panacea for all your evils . "We appeal to you-to use your best exertions as soon as peasible , to collect the required sum for the support of the forthcoming Convention , that that body , when they meet , may see by the alacrity you have used , that they liave your undivided support , so that it ¦ will enable Stem to demand boldly your right , that has been so laag unjustly withheld fromyouby a few designing knaves .

      In conclusion , we urge you to keep up the agitation , saute in one common bond of union—let your energies T » concentrated in one grand focus ; then , by your union sd& strength , you may enable your Convention and Executive to finally , beat down corruption under your feet , and for ever to establish universal liberty—the ** ua * of the British Constitution .

      DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association jnet on Sunday last , at their great room , No . 14 , North Ann-street , Mr . P . Holden in the chair . The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting ; he also read letters from Mr . John Frazer , Glasgow , and Mr . J . R . B . " Bairstow , Leicester—the latter gentleman requesting to be admitted ac honorary member . He also read a letter from Mr . James Ward , Macelesfield , containing the names of eight persons resident in that town , and requesting that they might be admitted members . Mr . O'Higgins proposed the admission of Mr . Philip Brannon , of Walton Common , Isle of Wight . He read an excellent letter from that gentleman , enclosing his subscription to the association , and requesting the honour of being admitted a member .. Mr . O'Higgins said

      that this was the gentleman whom the soi disani Rer formers of Belfast have vilified and traduced ; and who were , he regretted to say , aided by that portion of the press in Belfast which was called Liberal Mr . R . Dunn seconded the motion . Mr . M . Belly , in a very eloquent speech , depicted the evils of the preset system , and reprobated the conduct of those who called themselves the friends of Ireland , whose every act was for their own and against their country's interest . He concluded by moving that Mr . John Toole be admitted a member . Mr . O'Higgins said he was exceedingly rejoiced at the opportunity afforded him of seconding the admission of Mr . Toole , particularly as Mr . Teole was one of those who gave tbeir Society considerabie opposition upon one or two

      occasions last summer , under a mistaken notion respecting its objects ; but that his opposition partook mere of a spirit of inquiry than that factious and turbulent opposition which others thought proper to adopt . It was , therefore , plain to every one that Mr- Toole had joined the Association from a conviction of its having a greater tendency to promote the welfare of the -working classes of Ireland without reference to sect or party . The accession of a man who had become , like Mr . Toole , convinced of tbe advantages the country / would derive from the spreading of tfceir principles before he joined the society , was woith a score of men who might join them either hastily or inconsiderately . Mr . Corbett said , he thought the day for opposition was gone by : the Irish Universal Suffrage Association were not

      now afraid of any opposition ; for his part , he courted it , and though but on bumble working man , be would not be the least daunted to meet any of those who had denounced them as being a body of men opposed to tbe interests of Ireland ; he was a Catholic and a Munsterman , and he repudiated the unchristian threat of bringing over five hundred thousand Munster men to cut down their English Protestant brethren for no otherreason than that of having formed a Chartist Association , the oyec ^ of which he' knew to be that of obtaining the rights of the working classes , in the benefits of which his countrymen would be equal participators . ( Hear . ) Mr . John Toole rose and said he thanked the meeting most sincerely for admitting him a member of their Association . He came forward to join them after

      having given their principles the most mature consideration . He had been a member of Beveral associations , bnt he never joined one with the same kind of feeling which he did that of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . ( Hear , hear . ) He saw that their object was to promote the general happiness of their country . Other political societies were agitating the country from centre to surface for the purpose of promoting their own personal ambition , without nmfcjn g any effort to promote the interests or ameliorate the hard condition of the working man . The Chartists were not seeking places either for themselves or their relations , as tbe leaders of all other associations were . Their bitterest opponents were obliged to give them « redit for integrity of purpose and consistency . They were

      opposed and wonW be opposed by Whig and Tory , and all the place-hunters and followers of these two great factions , who , no matter how much opposed in other matters , joined most cordially in resisting the rights of the people . The association had only to go on ai it had heretofore done , and the whole country would soon join it , because it was now pretty generally admitted that their society was strictly lawful in every respect , notwithstanding all that was said about its unlawfulness , for no other purpose than that of detering timid men from joining their ranks . ( Hear , bear . ) The questiaR of taking Fishsb&mble-street Theatre was

      again brought forward , upon which an animated discussion easued , in which Messrs . Brophy , Dillon , O'Connell , ( not Dan , ) O'Higgins , M'Cartan , M'Mahon , Relly , and several others took a prominent part . The propriety of taking the Theatre was urged upon the ground that th ? treasurer had , after clearing all expences for the past half year , sufficient funds on hand for that purpose . It was ultimately agreed upon that the question should be brought forward formally , and after dne notice . Mr . John Toole was called to th 6 chair , Esd the thanks of the meeting -were given to Mr Holden , for his impartial conduct therein , when th meeting separated .

" That , while we regret that the English Executive did not consult their Scottish brethren in the drawing up of a National Petition , we are of opinion that under existing circumstances , seeing that the petition drawn up by them , and published in the Northern

      Star , has been universally adopted throughout England , and also in Beveral parts of Scotland , it would be much better , for the purpose of securing unanimity , that the National Petition should be adopted as it now stands : that we hereby approve of that Petition , and request Mr . Melville to support its adoption in its present form . " 3 rd . " That we request Mr . Melville to vote and protest against the introduction of any discussion in the Convention relative to the bugbear of physical or moral force , as we are of opinion that every such discussion tends to weaken our forces by creating unnecessary division .
