Grammar of the English Sentence

679. Syntax. The author feels confident that teachers will approve of the method of syntax contained in this book. By it the pupil is compelled to use his knowledge of grammatical principles and also his judgment in apply ing them.

680. Selections. The selections used have been taken from more than a hundred grammars, and many of the most prominent works of literature. Two objects have been kept in view: first, to collect such sentences as will best illustrate the greatest possible variety of constructions; second, to make selections that will be attractive to the pupil, so that while he is learning the grammar of the language he may also learn to appreciate the beauty of its literature.

If this book shall aid some of those it may reach in acquiring a careful, thoughtful discrimination, and shall create in them an interest for those higher thought studies to which grammar is so closely allied, it will then have accomplished its work.
