' Live and Learn" is a most usutul book, designed as a Guide to Gram 

 mar, Composition, and Punctuation. So few people speak or write really 

 good grammar, and fewer still punctuate decently, that a book that informs 

 them how to do so and not ouly that indicates their faults, but shows them 

 how they are to be corrected cannot fail to be popular; there is not a 

 person indeed, who might not learn something from it. 



No work heretofore written on this subject contains one half the really 

 useful information that the present docs. It should be in the hand of every 

 man, woman and child in the country, and is alike invaluable to the Scholar, 

 the Merchant, the Farmer, and the Artizan. 



There are hundreds of persons engaged in professional and commercial 

 pursuits, who are sensible ol their deficiencies on many points oounected 

 with the gr vmmar of their own tongue, and who. by self-tuition, are anxious 

 to correct such deficiencies, and to acquire the means of speaking and 

 writing, if not with elegance at least with a due regard to grammatical ac- 

 curacy, to whom this little work is " indispensible." Asa book of refer- 

 ence, " Live and Learn" will settle many disputes. It ought to be on every 

 table, and be particularly recommended to the young, before habit makes 

 common blunders uncommon hard to cure. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" Live and Learn" is an excellent book. To show our appreciation of its 

 merits we have had it cased in leather, and have made a pocket companion 

 of it. We look upon it as really indispensible. We advise our readers to 

 imitate our example procure the book and sell it not for any price Edu- 

 cational Gazette. 



Such a book as this has long been wanted by those who entertain the 

 wish alluded to in the title. It is suitable for all classes. We have atten- 

 tively conned its pages, and can recommend it as one of the best works of 

 reference for the young student, or even the ripe scholar, and as deserving 

 to be generally consulted. The work is altogether useful and indispensible.

This book, particularly intended as a work of reference for the solution 

 of difficulties connected with grammar, composition and punctuation, etc., 

 etc., will be found useful by those who have not received a sound elementa- 

 ry education and who neverthsless move in position. Daily Times. 



This capital work not only gives examples of over 1000 mistakes, but it 

 gives rules for their correction so clear, so terse, and at once so simple that 

 the most ordinary mind cannot fail to comprehend their meaning. This is 

 one of the chief beauties of " Live and Learn," for what is the use of point- 

 ing out a grammatical error without giving a key to its correction ? There 

 has been several catchpenny works on this subject lately issued. They tell 

 the reader that mistakes exist, but give no rule for their avoidance. If you 

 want a really go.-/d work, buy " Live and Learn."
