Description/Abstract:

1827 printing of 1826 copyrighted text. The author is credited as an M.D. and as author of Outlines in Botany and as Principal of Cincinnati Female Academy. A grammar written for children's capacities that doesn't rely on memorization and parsing. The text maintains the definitions of Murray, but precedes each with a lesson written as a dialogue to prepare students for the definition. Follows Pestalozzi's method of object teaching where expression follows the ideas. Schultz Archive copy includes preface and a few pages on orthography and composition.
