    Description/Abstract:
    1869 printing of 1865 copyrighted text. The author is credited with a Master of Arts and as the author of three other texts on grammar. Text aims for a more simple, natural, and practical basis to teach grammar. It aims to teach children to avoid common errors (and false syntax). It does not emphasize the analysis and parsing methods of instruction. The text is divided into three parts: 1) Definitions - parts of speech 2) Inflections - gender, case, conjugation 3) Constructions - syntax, parsing, analysis. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete text.

    Description/Abstract:
    1869 copyrighted text. The author is credited with a Master of Arts and as the author of Practical Grammar of the English Language. This elementary grammar is designed for both beginners and more advanced students. Part one of the text consists of model oral lessons, illustrating methods of elementary instruction in language culture. Part two develops ideas through intelligent questioning and appropriate illustration in a systematic manner, including synthetic exercises. Part three further covers the parts of speech with models for parsing and analysis of complex and compound sentences as well as rules of syntax and exercises in correcting false syntax. It aims to teach students to detect and correct inaccuracies. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete 160 page text.
