Excerpt from A Primary Grammar of the English Language: Designed for the Use of Schools and Private LearnersIt is especially intended to be used as an introduction to the author's Practical Grammar but inasmuch as it contains the plainer and more practical parts of all the divisions of the subject, it will be found to be well adapted to serve alone, as the text-book on grammar, for such classes as can spend but a short time in the study of that branch of knowledge: for it will be better for such to complete this small work, than to study a part only of a larger one.The attention of teachers is invited to some peculiarities of the work, which the practical operations of the school-room have proved to be of prime importance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
