The Standard English Grammar (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From The Standard English Grammar This Book, True To Its Name, Is A Standard English Gram Mar. It Is Not A Language Book, Buta Treatise For The Formal Study Of The Grammar Of The Language. Neither Have The Authors Attempted To Combine The Functions Of A Grammar And A Work On Rhetoric. At This Stage Of The Students Development Teachers Have Felt The Need Of Texts Upon The Subject Of Grammar That. Would Be More Formal Than The Elementary Beginners Book. In The Treatment Of The Subject Effort Has Been Made Either To Invent New Terms Or To Simplify The Subject By The Omission Of Essential Parts. Simplification Has Been Secured By The Logical Arrangement And Clear Exposition Of The Subject. In Order To Render The Work Thoroughly Progressive Nothing Is Anticipated When Anticipation Can Possibly Be Avoided; And No Part, Or Division, Or Subdivision, Is Introduced With Out Explanation Or Some Reference By Which The Mind Of The Pupil Is Prepared For Its Reception, Until The Portion Under Present Consideration Has Been Thoroughly Treated. Thus The Pupil Is Enabled To Advance Intelligently; And The Teacher Enjoys The Satisfaction Of Knowing That His Pupils Under Stand What They Are Learning. The Terms Phrase And Clause Have Been Somewhat Loosely Used In The Past, But It Is Hoped That The Restriction Of These Terms To A More Definite Meaning Is In The Interest Of Clearness.
