    Description/Abstract:
    1848 printing of 1848 copyrighted text. The author is credited with a Master of Arts degree and as Principal of the Phillips Grammar School, Boston. Designed as an introduction to a larger work on the analysis of sentences. Emphasizes simplicity in the presentation and performance over memorization. The work is divided into two parts: formation of words (orthography and etymology) and formation of sentences (rules for construction, models for analyzing and parsing). The author states that sentences have a meaning and a form, a thought and a mode of expression. This leads to exercises on equivalents (equivalent words, phrases, or clauses). Part one is broken into introduction, derivation and composition of words, and parts of speech—inflection. Part two has an unnamed section followed by simple sentences, complex sentences, compound sentences, and prosody. The Schultz Archive copy contains the preface, the TOC, the introduction to part one, and the first section of part two.
