    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.
