Excerpt from The Child's Grammar: Corresponding With Parsing Lessons and Forming Part of a Series for Teaching
A competent grammatical Knowledge of our own Language, is the true foundation upon which all Literature, properly so called, Ought to be raised.
If Children were first taught the common Principles of Grammar, by some short and clear system of English Grammar, which, hap pily, by its Simplicity and Facility, is perhaps fitter than any other for such a purpose, they would have some notion of what they were about, when they should enter into the Latin Grammar; and would hardly be engaged so many years as they now are, in that most irk some and difficult part of Literature, with so much Labour to the Memory, and with so little Assistance of the Understanding.
To enter at once upon the Science of Grammar, and the study of a foreign Lan guage, is to encounter two difficulties together.
