To loam language without knowing anything of the science of language is like acquiring the art of putting up elec tric fixtures without any knowledge of the principles of electrical science. To approach it, on the other hand, from the standpoint of universal princi ples In to make the study of it easier and progress in any particular tongue much more rapid.
