Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Practical English Grammar, on a New and Easy Plan: For Schools, Families and Self-Instructors While but few instances of originality are expected from the discovery of new materials in grammar, it is confidently believed that many new and useful arrangements of the materials already known and approved can be adapted to the easy inculcation of grammatical knowledge. To imprint on the memory and understanding of the learner an image of the most prominent features of the etymological part is one principal design of the writer of this treatise. This he seeks to effect by an analytical and synthetical view of its principal topics reduced to as narrow a compass as may consist with perspicuity. Placing those topics in juxta-position and close proximity renders them easier of access to a beginner, than scattering them over several pages with explanations of each at inconvenient distances. In the explanations here given in columns under the principal subjects brief and plain definitions are sought, referring the learner in due time to various annotations upon the parts of speech and syntactical rules. Having acquired the essentials of the parts of speech thus defined, by attentively viewing and retaining in memory the synthetical text contained in the synopsis of etymology, and by suitable exercises, the learner's progress is made easy and ultimately successful, as experience has demonstrated. More than half of the acquisition of a competent grammatical knowledge is obtained in the etymological part; hence, the special utility of bringing that part immediately home to the understanding and memory of the student.
