Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of English Grammar This Introduction to the study of English Grammar is based upon the same general plan as the "Elements of English Grammar" The Introductory and Oral Exercises are all brought together in Part I. They embrace a series of lessons commencing with elementary principles entirely familiar to the merest child. By a gradual succession of exercises, which require a constant use of well-known and familiar objects, the learner, almost imperceptibly, masters the different parts of speech. And not only so, he learns their principal properties, and various uses in construction. The inductive method prevails throughout the whole of this part; and such is the nature and arrangement of the Lessons, that a child cannot faithfully perform the exercises without being thoroughly prepared to enter upon the more formal study of Grammar. In Part II., the principles of English Grammar are stated in the form of definitions and rules, to be committed to memory, and applied in the exercises. In preparing this abridgement of the larger work, it has been thought best to exclude the critical Remarks and Notes, rather than the practical Exercises. Hence many discussions important to a thorough knowledge of Grammar are here omitted, and should be supplied, whenever needed, from the Elements. The peculiarities of the work to which the author would call special attention are these: - 1. It begins with what the child already knows, and advances step by step, deriving new facts and new relations, from what is already established and familiar.
