    Description/Abstract:
    1843 printing of 1843 copyrighted text. The preface boasts of a new theory (a system) of English grammar. It argues that language is inseparably connected with the intelligence and welfare of individuals and that the English language is ascendant. The preface presents 24 examples of sentences rendered according to the author's grammar and those same sentences constructed according to the old theories to demonstrate the failings of the old. The text includes a mix of definitions and thorough lectures with a few exercises. The Schultz Archive copy includes the preface, address to the teacher and sections on grammar and entomology, roughly the first 49 pages.
