Description/Abstract:

1818 printing of 1819(?) copyrighted text. Author is credited as President of Teachers' Society in the City and County of New York and as author of the Juvenile Expositor. Advertisement states this is a revised edition designed for intermediate grades. Preface states the book is meant to fill the gap in curriculum between spelling books and collections of great authors. It is designed to teach understanding of words rather than require memorization. Poetry is used. Seems to cover the four parts of grammar: orthography, etymology, syntax, and prosody. Schultz Archive copy only includes preface, the brief orthography section, and the first page of etymology.
