Excerpt from New Practical English Grammar: For Use in Business Colleges, Academies, Normal and High Schools, and Advanced Classes in Public Schools
The design of this book is to present the essential features of grammar briefly enough to enable the student to complete the course of lessons in a comparatively short time, and to accompany the statements of principles with sufficient illustrative material to make the study interesting and profitable.
