1850 printing of 1850 copyrighted text. Preface states text is progressive in its development of principles of grammar. Text presents rules of orthography, a synopsis of parts of speech, a compend of etymology in which attributes are forcibly illustrated (with exercises in correction, conjugation, and parsing), a recapitulation of etymology covering more complex principles, a complete syntax, and a section on prosody. The author credits the influence of G. Brown, Butler, Bullions, and Wells. Schultz Archive copy includes brief preface and the first nineteen pages of Part I: Orthography.
