Notes: "The compiler of 'English grammar, adapted to the different classes of learners,' having been frequently solicited to publish an abridgment ... hopes that the epitome which he now offers to the public, will be found useful and satisfactory. His chief view in presenting the book in this form, is to perserve the larger work from being torn and defaced by the younger scholars, in their first duty [i.e., study] of the general outline which it prescribes; and, consequently, to render their application to each part both new and inviting."--Introduction, p. [3].
