THE ECHO'S GRAMMAR.
To the Editor. Sir, — Favor me with one inch of your paper t > say, once for all, that I will not accept its barbarous grammatical emendations, i.c.. “shall ” for wnl. Any but a fool, or a Shetland tyro, knows that “both,” being an indefinite adjective pronoun, may be followed by three or a thousand substantives. My design in writing to you is to tell your readers that hencefoith 1 will take no notice of either the Echo or its disingenous inuendoes. Let yelping curs bark and bite ; for, as the good Isaac Watt says, it, is their nature. — 1 am, &c., J. G. S. Grant.
