    Description/Abstract:
    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.
