- Description/Abstract:
- 1859 printing of 1859 copyrighted text. The author is credited as Formerly Principal of a Classical Academy, Baltimore. The text aims to provide the elementary principles of grammar more concisely than existing texts with fewer technical terms. The author claims his text is based on his teaching experience and a thorough examination and comparison of popular grammar texts. The text retains some necessary terminology, but has eliminated: dividing nouns into common and proper, the use of gender or person with nouns, the term case, the classification of verbs, and the use of moods. Additionally, the author replaces tense with time, creates a new system of tenses, provides a new definition of regular and irregular verbs, and uses the infinitive rather than the indicative as the governing mood. The lengthy introduction discusses twenty-seven changes made by the text. The text uses definitions/rules, examples, and examples for correction for most lessons. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the first 113 pages of the at least 128 page text.
