    Description/Abstract:
    1869 printing of 1865 copyrighted text. The author is credited with a Master of Arts and as the author of three other texts on grammar. Text aims for a more simple, natural, and practical basis to teach grammar. It aims to teach children to avoid common errors (and false syntax). It does not emphasize the analysis and parsing methods of instruction. The text is divided into three parts: 1) Definitions - parts of speech 2) Inflections - gender, case, conjugation 3) Constructions - syntax, parsing, analysis. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete text.

    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    1869 printing of the 1869 copyrighted text. The author is credited with a Master of Arts degree and as the author of several titles on grammar. The preface claims that the teaching of language has been primarily focused on grammar and analysis rather than on expression. It attempts to weave the teaching of grammar with rhetoric and composition with a progressive series of exercises designed to develop skill in the use of words, in the construction of sentences, and in the finding of thoughts. It uses good models (in particular, excerpts from celebrated writers) rather than examples of errors. It covers style, descriptions, narration, exposition, persuasion, and varieties of compositions. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.
