Excerpt from Price's New English Grammar: Containing Also Punctuation, the Notes Under Rules in Syntax, and Lessons in Parsing, The Rules and Definitions Taken Mostly From Murray to All Which Is Adapted a New System of Questions

The sale of the former editions of this work has encouraged the Editor to offer the public another, containing, as he would hope, some valuable improvements.

The object of the questions interspersed through this Grammar, is, to lead the learner, while committing his lesson, to discover its meaning and application.

The scholar should answer the questions which are numbered, in the common way. The questions which are not numbered, have no direct answer on the page, the design of which is, to teach the pupil to think for himself, and avail himself of his own resources, as soon as he shall have any at command.

As some teachers have expressed a wish for this Grammar in the catechetical form, with questions and answers alternately succeeding each other, and as it seemed that one in such a form would be less conveniently read, the attempt has been made, by the help of figures, to secure the advantages of that form, while its inconveniences arc avoided.

The number of the question is prefixed to its appropriate answer, and this arrangement will enable the scholar as readily to learn the answer, as if it followed its proper question.

This edition also contains Punctuation, and the most important Notes in Murray's Syntax, with Lessons in Parsing, to which are prefixed Specimens illustrative of that, exercise, arranged in their appropriate places.
