Présentation de l'éditeur

The -author believes that he has presented, simply and logically, the topics that relate directly to the facts of the language, and to the laws of its structure. The Sentence is taken as the fundamental unit, and all separate words or combinations of words, as only parts of this whole. Words and phrases, taken by themselves, are only fractional; but, thrown into the form of a proposition, they assume an organic relation, and the value of each is judged by reference to its yokefellows. The Parts of Speech are defined inductively. Particular instances are held in the foreground as the basis; and, as far as possible, the concrete examples are allowed to tell their own tale. Generalization is thus mainly left as an effect of these on the mind of the pupil. Instead of being exhausted in all its relations, the subdivision of each Part of Speech is separately discussed before the peculiar process of Inflection is begun. Nor can the distinct and important operations placed under Inflection obtain the prominence they deserve unless exhibited apart. No canon of teaching is of greater consequence in conveying grammatical information than the doing of one thing at a time.
