There is nothing after all like plain language,
& simple unqualified propositions delivered in short
sentences— We think there is too much arrangement
& that the reasons might as well have been put
below the rule as in a separate Chapter— The
present mode takes occasions repetition & we think
distracts the attention— The addition of the English
& French practice is very entertaining & highly useful.

In many places we have found fault without suggesting
a remedy— To have done both would certainly have
been better, but it is not altogether so easy, & to
do half one's task is better than to do nothing—

Yours sincerely

G.W.
