Présentation de l'éditeur

The present volume is based upon the belief that grammar, composition, and literature are not three separate and distinct subjects, but merely three inter-related divisions of the same subject English. If this be so, they should not be studied separately but together; only in this way can their true relation be brought out. Teachers of the classics and the romance languages, as well as teachers of English, are unanimous in their opinion that the greatest hindrance to the effective teaching of language at the present time is the students ignorance of English grammar. We have, therefore, placed the section on grammar first instead of last, and have sought to make it fill a place between the brief review of grammar that is occasionally appended to books on composition and the more complete treatises on the subject. As a further aid to the study of grammar in other languages and in keeping with the recommendation of the National Education A ssociation, Universal Nomenclature has been used. It has been taken for granted that the student who uses the book is already more or less familiar with grammatical terms, and therefore, the definition of these has been brief. The purpose has been to give in complete and, at the same time, concise form the fundamental rules of grammar, a clear understanding of which is essential to correct composition. Throughout the section the inter-relation of grammar and composition has been stressed, and the student is shown how a knowledge of grammar is necessary before he can understand the rules of composition.
