    Descripción/Resumen:
    No printing information is given. The copyright year is 1856. The author has many years in the business of teaching, according to the preface. Language relates to human nature and grammar is the science of language, according to the author. Bradbury's grammar handbook works through lessons on English grammar from a very basic starting point. The chapters visible on the table of contents are the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the verb, the adverb, and the preposition. For each grammar point the text makes it originates with a rule, principle or definition, which is to be committed to memory. These rules are followed by questions and examples to assist the student in application of the point. Finally, there are periodic reviews to refresh the students' memories about the various points that have been covered. The Schultz Archive only includes a very brief excerpt of the title page, contents, preface, section on nouns/pronouns and a single page on syntax. The scans are all readable, but the pages are cut maybe a third (maybe less) of the way from the bottom.

    Descripción/Resumen:
    1856 printing of this work copyrighted in 1856. The author is credited as having a Master of Arts degree. A sequel to Barton's New System of English Grammar, Practical Exercises is directed toward primary school students for the acquisition of English grammar. The book founds itself upon imitation and exercises in order to progress students from basic understanding of grammar to its more substantial application in composition scenarios and the critical study of English Literature. It also includes review questions. The contents covers punctuation, sentence structure, style (purity, propriety, precision), structure and style, figurative language, and modes of composition (narratives, descriptions, epistles, essay, arguments). The appendixes includes information on writing for publication and proofreading. The Schultz Archive includes the entire text, and it is in good condition (the cover page is somewhat sideways).

    Descripción/Resumen:
    1856 printing of 1856 copyrighted text. The author is credited as of Mr. and Mrs. Smith's Female Seminary, St. Louis, MO. Preface states children should begin study of composition as soon as they can write, spell, and define. This study aims to teach the proper application of words together with spelling, including the use of pauses in certain situations. The second part introduces the most common parts of speech with some of their modifications and variations. The author wishes to teach learners to think and to advance in the art of writing their own language quickly and correctly through forming good habits. The lessons mostly consist of lists of words with corresponding fill-in- the-blank sentences as well as fill-in- the-blank sentences without the lists of words. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete 131 page text.
