Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Parser's Manual: Embracing Classified Examples in Nearly Every Variety of English Construction: Designed for Schools and for the Use of Private Students
That our students of grammar are thus deficient is not altogether the fault of their teachers; for grammar can not be thoroughly taught without the use of a well-digested system of printed or written parsing exercises. Nor is it the fault of the authors who have prepared our text-books in grammar. We have many excel lent treatises which are all that a text-book in grammar ought to be. The introduction into a text-book of such an amount of drill exercises as would be necessary to make learners perfectly familiar with the parsing and analysis of all kinds of sentences, would either make a volume too large to be conveniently handled, or it would crowd out every thing else that should find a place in a text-book on grammar. It is, therefore, indispensably necessary that we should have a book specially devoted to the subject of parsing.
The present volume is designed to be a companion of any of the text-books used in our schools. It is not intended that the articles shall be taken up and studied consecutively in the order in which they stand in the book, but that such articles shall be taken up, or referred to from day to day, as will serve to impress more deeply on the minds of the pupils the lesson of their text4book.
