Synopsis

English Grammar: With An Improved Syntax. Part I. Comprehending At One View What Is Necessary To Be Committed To Memory. Part II. Containing A Recapitulation, With Various Illustrations And Critical Remarks. Designed For The Use Of Schools by John March Putnam is a two-part nineteenth century grammar and syntax manual that targets schoolroom instruction. The work lays out the foundations of English grammar through a clear division into orthography, etymology, syntax, and prosody, and expands with detailed discussions of substantives, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Part II provides extensive parsing exercises, punctuation rules, and supplementary observations, including a specimen of parsing and numerous parsing lessons. The volume emphasizes rules of concord and government, noun cases, and verb tenses, and includes lists of regular and irregular verbs, as well as sample exercises. Written to promote memorization and practical understanding, it presents grammar with illustrations, tables, and systematic explanations suitable for school use. It is an 1828 edition originally by J. M. Putnam.
