Description/Abstract:

1823 printing of 1823 copyrighted text. A concise text on grammar. Preface boasts of a new and systematic order of parsing (rather than memorization) and a text that blends pleasure and labor. The familiar style of the lectures use first person and directly address the reader. The text contain fourteen lectures and exercises in false syntax. The Schultz Archive copy includes the preface, recommendations, contents, "hints to teachers," and the first lecture. The second page of the preface and the first page of the "hints to teachers" are a bit difficult to read due to the quality of copy.
