DEAK MB. BIGITLOW, I sent for your "Punctuation and other 

 Typographical Matters " (having long groaned over bad pointing in 

 authors and printers), and was glad to find an excellent manual 

 which will contribute to the comfort of many. I cordially recom 

 mend it to all authors, printers, and men of letters. 



Faithfully yours, 

 Allibone's Dictionary of Authors. I. AUSTIN ALLIBONE.

" This is an admirable little work; the more admirable for the use 

 of busy people, because it is little, tince it is also clear and Compre- 

 hensive. The errors pointed out are those to which nearly all writers 

 are liable. . . . We commend it as the most convenient, little manual 

 of which we have knowledge." Christian Herald. 



*' This is a valuable little volume. It is not a grammar, with rules 

 and definitions ; but it takes up words and parts of speech, and shows, 

 generally by example, their correct use. It is arranged systemati* 

 eal'ly, and is adapted to the use of the home and the school." Th 

 Current. 



" The matter is well arranged, and the points upon which instruc 

 tion is desired can be readily found." Christian Union. 



" This is a useful book. A careful study of the several chapter* 

 be of great advantage to all who have to do touch or lite* 

 writing. " Gospel Banner.
