1884 printing of 1883 copyrighted text. The text aims to combine theory with practice in a complete grammar of the English language. Students are first given a system of syntactical rules to discriminate between grammatical and ungrammatical writing, and then students are give exercises in construction and analysis. The author credits the influence of Quackenbos's English Grammar and Brown's Grammar of English Grammars. Each lesson contains some mix of definitions, principles, rules, lists, remarks, and directions (exercises). The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete 109 page text.
