About this title

Synopsis

English Grammar, By Lectures: Comprehending The Principles And Rules Of Syntactical Parsing On A New And Highly Approved System is a comprehensive instructional grammar that offers a lecture-based approach to English grammar and syntactical parsing. This nineteenth-century text includes detailed lectures on the parts of speech—such as nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, articles, and participles—along with practical exercises, specimen parsings, and rules for parsing by transposition. It features extensive sections on agreement and government of language, conjugation of verbs (including irregulars), and critical notes on usage, punctuation, and rhetoric. Additionally, the book provides drills in false-language correction, transposition exercises, and epistolary composition, culminating in a guide to rhetoric and versification. This didactic manual is designed for students and teachers seeking a rigorous, lecturer-driven method for mastering English syntax and composition.
