Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Studies in Grammar: Dealing With the Principles of English Language and Composition
Since grammar first became a special study in the common schools, there has been a persistent claim of disappointing results.
Verbal composition is a necessity in all mutual trans actions among men; and grace or ugliness of speech is constantly abetting or defeating the worker for ad vancement in vocation or for distinction in the social or political world. He may hide his weakness in mathematics or the physical sciences, but he must talk and write. In comparing the pupil's attainments in his various studies, disparity unfavorable to grammar is often only apparent, not legitimate.
