Emerson, A. C. Champneys, and Lounsbury. Strives to move away from grammar instruction based on memorization to instruction based on induction. Includes "test questions" at the end of each lecture. The four lectures: History of English Grammar Teaching, Descriptive Grammar and Scientific Grammar, Purpose and Method, False Syntax. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete text.
