Prepared by a GRAMMAR SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, and arranged in the manner that
many years of research and actual experience in the schoolroom have
demonstrated to be the best for teaching, this book commends itself to
teachers as a simple, progressive, and consistent treatise on Grammar,
the need of which has so long been recognized. We ask for it a careful
and critical examination. The thorough acquaintance of the author with
his subject, and his practical knowledge of the difficulties which beset
the teacher in the use of the text-book, and the necessity for the
teacher's supplying deficiencies and omissions and amending the text to
suit constructions found daily in parsing, and in other practical
exercises in Grammar, have enabled him to prepare a work which will, on
trial, be found a labor-saving aid to both teacher and pupil.
