Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Progressive English Grammar: With Exercises This work is designed to lead pupils progressively from the simplest elements of English Grammar to the most advanced stage of the subject; and to give thorn in outline so complete a view of the grammar of their mother tongue, that it shall not be necessary for them to refer to other works unless when it is intended to make the Language the subject of minute and special study. In plan, the work is practical rather than strictly scientific: in the selection and arrangement of material, tho author has endeavoured to make the book a good and useful one for the purposes of teaching, rather than a formal exposition of the science of Grammar. The treatment of the subject is simple throughout, but especially in the earlier portions. The Definitions are brief, and will be easily remembered. Simplicity, however, has in no case been gained by sacrificing that strict accuracy upon which, particularly in the case of beginners, sound grammatical knowledge mainly depends. The work at the same time aims at being progressive, both in the amount of knowledge which it conveys at different stages, and in the style of treatment which the subject receives. Simple Classification, for example, is separated both from tho subdivisions of the Parts of Speech, and from Inflection.
