Description/Abstract:

New edition with additions copyrighted 1857. Prior edition copyrighted 1829. Advertisement claims this is the eleventh edition. An update to the author's popular text based in advances to philological learning. This new edition has omitted the corrections and provincialisms (as they contribute to memorization of errors). An article on rhetoric, "On beauty and sublimity in writing" by Professor A. Mills has been added. The original text aims for simplicity appropriate for children (particularly in its explanation of principles) and uses the author's novel systematic order of parsing. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete text.
