Preface. oto rpHE author, having in great measure rewritten his English Grammar, presents it once more to the consideration of the teachers of the country. The work, as now offered, is the result of long experience in the class-room, and of no little reading and study. Tlie English language and its literature have been for many years the main subjects of the authors inquiry, and he has endeavored in this volume to give the results of his observations in the form which his experience as a teacher has convinced him to be the best adapted to the wants of the learner. The points aimed at have been twofold: First, to give some knowledge of grammar in general. This is the more necessary, as most of those who study English grammar study no other language, and have no other means of studying the laws of language as a means of expressing thought. Secondly, to set forth the forms and laws peculiar to the English language. The English has indeed been called, somewhat irreverently, the grammarless tongue. Its inflections, it must be confessed, are meagre, as compared with those of the Latin and Greek. Such ia the condition of almost every modem tongue. Yet our English has its idioms, as every foreigner learns to his cost, and is not entirely without its inflections. An accurate knowledge of these idioms and inflections is of incalculable value to every one who would be at home in the use of the language.
