    Description/Abstract:
    1886 printing of 1886 copyrighted text. Author is credited with a Master of Arts and as Late Supervisor in the Boston Schools. An elementary grammar that assumes students have already received some instruction in composition in primary and grammar school. Includes study of parts of speech as well as arrangement, construction, inflection, and its substitutes. The illustration of principles precedes their technical naming; technical names not related to grammatical distinctions are excluded. The appendix covers idiomatic expressions and their history as well as difficult and doubtful constructions. Part one covers the sentence and some parts of speech; part two covers more parts of speech, moods, and tenses; part three covers syntax and punctuation; part four covers irregular parts of speech and more complex arrangements as well as methods of analysis. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete 113 page text.

    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    1886 printing of the 1870 copyrighted text. The author is credited as a Doctor of Laws in English, and as Late Professor of Rhetoric and of the English Language and Literature in the College of New Jersey, as the former principal of the New Jersey State Normal School, and as the author of a series of textbooks. The author expresses the conviction that composition teaching should happen much earlier than the typical age of twelve to fourteen and requires regular practice. The book focuses on exercises; the author states practice should come before theory. The chapters cover simple words, derivative words, simple sentences, complex sentences, change of arrangement, change of structure, figurative expression (simile, metaphor, metonymy, etc.), style, letter writing, and an appendix on punctuation. The text contains examples and directions for exercises and compositions. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete text.
