    Descripción/Resumen:
    Text copyrighted 1882. The author is credited with a Master of Arts and as Superintendent of Schools in Aurora, IL. Based on years of classroom experience training children to talk, this text aims to guide the young learner in the correct use of language at the time when he is acquiring a vocabulary and forming habits of speech. The preface states that exercises such as sentence building, filling a blank, parsing, analysis, and correcting errors are not very helpful in correcting habits of speech. Corrects habits are obtained by the exercise of expression wholly one's own. This text aims to teach the form taught through those former means through the practice of original expression. Exercises are meant to be practiced orally before being written. Numerous pictorial illustrations appear throughout, and illustrative excerpts from well known writers of poetry and prose and used as well. The Schultz Archive's copy ends on page 239. It is unclear if this is the last page of the text.

    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.
