The study of the science of Grammar is of so great
importance to persons in every station OF life that the
author deems proper 20 state here the vast prove
ment which he processes TO have made in the mode OF
communicating thorough knowledge OF the UrincI
plies of the English language.
The several Treatises on the different parts OF
Grammar are divided into Lectures, Lessons, etc.
and every principle of Grammar is eXpaini d inter
negatively, in the paiGest simplest and most lucid
manner The several parts OF speech are explained
briefly, at FIRST that young learners well as adults,
may readily understand them, they proceed
throughout the WORK. They taken up separately
commencing nth the nouu and treated luterrogaive-
ly IN the clearest, minutest ana most comprehensive
manner.
After treating iGterrogativcIy Of each of the ten
parts of speech, great many examples are given of
the most concise, systematic order of parsBg il,
well as numerous EXAMPLES Of correcting false syntIN,
which il is misapped; and after treating clearly
minutely, and interrogatvey Of the ten parts Of
speech, a great many EXAMPLES are given Of parsng
them together i'll which the whole thirty seven Rules
of SyutaN, we'll many Notes, are applied. More
than two hundred pages # paTslag the ten parts Of
speech, both separately and together and correcting
False Orthography False Syntax and False Punctua-
ton, throughout the work. given IN this Ireatse
on Grammar.
The Rules and Notes Of Syntax are greatly smpli-
fed, and under every Rule that can be violated, a
great many examples of False Syntax are given,
nearly all Of which corrected in as few words as
can well be used with prOpriety. More than eighty
examples Of False SyntaX, promiscuOusly arranged,
given at tie close of SynaX, about one-thrd OF
which are corrected in the most lucid manner Near
the close Of the work there two Keys, winch are
used correct all the examples of False Synax, that
not corrected under taer respe, tive Rules; as
well as the uucorrected examples OF False Synax pro-
miscuOusy arranged
Punctuation treated of in such a simple and clear
manner, that youths and adults may readily become
accomplished Punctuists ia few weeks and ali per
sons who study this system OF Punctu on, VIII pune
tuate precisely in the same manner Under every
Rule oil Punctuation that be violated, many eX-
ampcs Of False Punctu ttion given nearly all OF
which corrected by the most concise order.
The Author processes 10 have made as great an i'm
provemen, IN the mole of teaching Grammar, as has
been made in the nineteenth century, in facilitating
the immense travel and commerce on our public
roads, rivers, lakes bays gulfs and oceans, by
the introduction Of locomotives and cars, steamboats,
and steamships, instead of wagons and stage-coaches,
iItboats, barges and sailing vessels; and he feels
quite conhdcit that he will be amply sustained in
his opinion b. the most eminent conaoisseurs of
our language who may take the trouble 20 examine
carefully and imparIiilly, his treatise on Grammar
The Author viii remark, that he has made English
Grammar his principal study, Tor more than twenty
two tears, during which time, he has examined,
carefully, great many Grammsrs by different auth
ors; that he nearly eight years in writing his
1reatise on Grammar, having written I'VE large man
uscrps, before he accomplished his object to his en-
tire satisfaction.
1t will be readily admitted by all classical Teachers
and accomplished GTammarans, that IL now requires
at least three years the most apt aud stu.

cur most eminent preceptors; that it Is utterly nm
possible for youths adults 10 become accomplished
Grammarians and Punotusts, By the study of the
best Granmars eXtint. without the aid Of nstt

scarcely any two Teachers parse and correct IN the
same manner; that owing 70 the ambiguous manner
ia which the various authors Of Grammar treat 81
Pune tuaion, very few persons rctuate precisely
in the same manner; whereas by the study OF this
system, 50 many examples are given OF the most
roBcise yscmatc order of parsing the ten parts Of
speech, b'th separately and together well a. the
numerous examples Of correcting False Syntax and
False Punctuation that all persons who study il will
parse, correct and punetaate precisely in the same
manner.
