Exposition Of The Grammatical Structure Of The English Language: Being An Attempt To Furnish An Improved Method Of Teaching Grammar, For The Use Of Schools And Colleges — John Mulligan. This didactic grammar treats English structure as a teachable art, presenting a rational, progressive method designed for school and college settings. Mulligan argues that grammar should be learned through understanding the purposes of language, the nature of propositions, and the practical construction of sentences, rather than rote nomenclature. The work distinguishes natural language (emotions, signs) from artificial language (words that encode ideas) and advocates a blended approach to achieve precise and forceful communication. A central methodological shift places the proposition—the basic unit of discourse—and its parts (subject, predicate, copula) at the core of study, beginning with two-word statements. The core classifications revolve around nouns and verbs, with pronouns treated as a subset of nouns and verbal nouns, infinitives, and gerunds discussed as noun subclasses. Chapter I treats propositions; Chapter II nouns; Chapter III the verb; with appendices on language origins and phonetics. The text is richly infused with classroom exercises, a concise notation system (S. NV., V., Cop.), and a staged curriculum aimed at rapid initial mastery while offering material for advanced study.
