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.

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.
