THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

From the Christian Intelligencer.

THE Editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper, of March 2, states that the following letter from the Rev. Dr. Scott, of Newark, N. J., was presented to the Board of Education of the City of Brooklyn, at the regular meeting of the Board on the 1st, and that on being read it was referred to the School-book Committee.

We sincerely agree with the Editor, "in thinking that the letter will attract the particular attention of scholars, and be read with interest by all classes."

We rejoice to know that Dr. Scott is connected with a Literary Association which is laboring to advance the interests of education, and especially the study of our mother-tongue. It seems to us that they have struck the proper chord, in calling attention to the Anglo-Saxon element of the English language, as the primary and most important element.

TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN, N. Y.

GENTLEMEN,-A Literary Association, composed of gentlemen of large experience in teaching, present the accompanying three volumes for your consideration.

The Association believe that their introduction into the public and private schools of the Republic will greatly promote the study of the English language.

The Association think that the present method of teaching the English language is not the natural one. These are their reasons:

1. The English language is a mixed, or composite one, having at least five lingual elements: the Anglo-Saxon, the Gothic, the Celtic, the French, and the Classic, or Latin and Greek.

2. In 450, when the English language was introduced into Great Britain, it had only one of these elements-the Anglo-Saxon. This element is, therefore, the basis of the language. It embraces twenty-three thousand words, some five or six thousand of which are the choice words of daily speech; such as the words of home, of the heart, of the counting-room, of the workshop, and of farming.

3. The Gothic, French, Celtic, Latin, and Greek words, have been introduced as civiliza1⁄4lon nas progressed. The French language gave the words of refinement, chivalry, law, and some of the fine arts. The Gothic gave words of similar import with the Saxon, which is one of the Gothic dialects. The Latin and Greek languages gave abstract, scientific, and theological words.

4. The Anglo-Saxon element has received the other elements from time to time since 450, and given them its own laws. Hence, the grammatical structure of the English language is based on the Saxon, and not on the Latin or Greek.

In view of these reasons, the Association believes that the true method of studying the English language is that of beginning with the Saxon, or first lingual element. After this has been mastered, then proceed to the study of the other elements, in the order of their engrafture or introduction into the English language.

The three HAND-BOOKS present the English language according to this order. The first, or ANGLO-SAXON WORD-BOOK, gives a thousand of the choice root-words of the Anglo-Saxon element, with their primitive and secondary meanings. The pupil can master this book in three months.

The second book, or HAND-BOOK OF ANGLO-SAXON DERIVATIVES, gives five thousand of the best Anglo-Saxon words. The root-word is given, then its derivatives, with their meanings and use. But as all the derivative words are formed by adding twenty-five suffixes, eighteen prefixes, and nine terminations, to the root-words, these fifty-two suffixes, prefixes, and terminations, are explained in the first part of the book. This Hand-book can be studied in three months, and will put the child in possession of five thousand of the best Anglo-Saxon words in the English language, with their meanings and use.

The third book, containing the engrafted elements of the English language, gives some seven thousand of the best words from the Gothic, Celtic, French, and Classic elements, with their meanings and use. Six months will be long enough for the child to acquire its contents. Thus, at the end of twelve months, the faithful pupil will be in possession of twelve thousand of the choicest words in the English language.

Besides this order in the study of the lingual elements of our language, the Literary Association calls your attention to the classification of the words in each of the books. It is the

only natural classification of words, and is in accordance with the known laws of mental association. For instance, under the head of MAN, all words relating to the body and soul of man are arranged. So also under the head of BUSINESS, all the words for the various sorts of business are grouped.

These three volumes, THE ANGLO-SAXON BOOK OF ROOT-WORDS, THE HAND-BOOK OF SAXON DERIVATIVES, and THE HAND-BOOK OF ENGRAFTED WORDS, place the English language within the reach of all our youth. The plan embraced in them has received the sanction of our first teachers. The practicability of the plan is settled. Several of the highest schools in NewYork City and vicinity have introduced, or are about introducing the series. Among these institutions are the Rutgers and Spingler Institutes.

With these statements, the Literary Association commends the works to your favorable notice, believing that they will prove themselves to be valuable contributions to school literature. By order of the Literary Association,

NEWARK, N. J., 1st March, 1853.
