Excerpt from English Grammar: With Chapters on Composition, Versification, Paraphrasing, and Punctuation It is hoped that the book will also be useful in Colleges, Ladies' Seminaries, High Schools, Academies, Preparatory and Normal Schools, to candidates for teachers' examina tions and Civil Service examinations, and to all who wish for any reason to review the leading facts of the English Language and Literature. Only the most salient features of the language have been described, and minor details have been left for the teacher to fill in. The utmost clearness and simplicity have been the aim of the writer, and he has been obliged to sacrifice many interesting details to this aim.
