The ingenious Author of the Republick of Letters, for September 1734, has this Character of Mr. Loughton’s Grammar. “The Author (says he) in his Preface, gives his Reasons for compiling A Practical English Grammar, which, it must be own’d, he has done in such a Manner, as to render it the best of the Kind: His Rules are plain and easy, concise and clear; he has laid aside the old Terms, and made use of such as are more expressive of the several Parts of Speech; his way of Question and Answer renders it intelligible to young Capacities.—I heartily wish it more generally introduc’d into our English Schools, since it would give all those whose Education is confin’d to their Mother Tongue, an adequate Notion of it; teach the Fair Sex to write more correctly; and expedite the Studies of such who are design’d for the Learned Languages, by furnishing them with a proper Idea of the several Parts of Grammar before their Entrance upon the Latin Rudiments.”
