    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.

    Description/Abstract:
    1867 printing of the 1866 copyrighted text. The author (spelled "Hailman" here) is credited with a Master of Arts and is the Principal of the English and German Academy in Louisville, Kentucky. The introduction is by James N. McElligott, who is credited with a Doctor of Laws in English degree. McElligott's introductions explains that the text doesn't make the errors of some object-teaching that focuses on facts without order, but rather provides mental discipline through following the indications of nature and the laws of mind. In the author's words, the principal aim of school education is to teach students how to form ideas and how to express them. This theoretical treatise on education covers object lessons, development of the faculties, grammar, geometry, and natural history. The text includes illustrative examples. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.
