Présentation de l'éditeur
The present volume is intended to accompany the Historical Outlines of English Accidence by Dr. Morris. But for this, I should have preferred to call it Lessons in English Syntax implying thereby that I do not pretend to (or aim at) completeness of detail, but have rather contented myself with giving principles of English Syntax, and with picking out from among the infinity of syntactical facts, those that seemed most interesting and worthy of note. I selected first those idioms which struck me as out of the common in old and modem texts, and from these I chose such as seemed noteworthy from the standpoints of psychology, historical development, and comparative grammar. I did not think it advisable to swell the book by giving detailed accounts of every preposition and conjunction ;both these parts of speech are fully dealt with in theD ictionaries, and in the well-known works of Matzner, Koch, Dr. A bbott, Einenkel, and Mr. T. L. Kington Oliphant.
