Synopsis

Excerpt from An Abridgment of Murray's Grammar: To Which Is Added a Set of Lessons, Containing Examples, Explanations, Rules, and Questions, Suited to the Several Parts of Speech and Forms of the English Language

The scholar should not commence the study of Syntax, with complicated sentences but first be made acquainted with the agreement and government of words intheir most simple combinations. From adopting this method, the most important advantages will be derived. Teachers will be exempted from much labour, and at the same time find their pupils improve by hasty and pleasant steps.

The dislike of the English Gram mar, which has so generally prevailed among those who have not advanced far enou' to discover its beauties, can only be attributed to the intricacy of syntax. To obviate this difficulty, the author of the Syntactical Lessons, has given much time and study. The charge of more than two hundred grammar scholars of different ages and capacities, has enabled him to form a system of instruction, which, in all cases that have fallen under his observ ation, has proved very beneficial.

By collecting in each lesson many examples depending upon the same rule, and extending the lessons so as to embrace every species, of parsing, he flatters himself, he has marked out a new path, which, instead of presenting obstacles, Will hold out the most allur ing prospects.
