    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    1878 printing of 1878 copyrighted text. Hart is credited with a doctorate in the laws of English as the Late Professor of Rhetoric and of the English Language and Literature in the College of New Jersey, formerly Principal of the New Jersey State Normal School, and author of a series of text-books on the English language. Based on the author's larger Grammar, the text selects portions of that work which are elementary. The text is written for text-book learners, striving for clearness, differentiating by level of importance, providing concise rules and definitions for memorization, and supplying practical examples for every rule and definition. The book has cut the section on prosody, only including orthography, etymology, and syntax. There are also sections of review exercises, exercises in correction of false syntax, and selections for parsing. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the full 128 page text.
