Excerpt from Introduction to the Analytical and Practical Grammar of the English Language: With Exercises in Analysis and Parsing In presenting this revised edition of the "Introduction to Bullion's Analytical and Practical Grammar," the Editor would remark that, while in simplicity of style and arrangement, suitableness and fulness of practical exercises, and general completeness, Bullions' Grammars cannot easily be surpassed, it has been generally felt among teachers, that considerable improvement might be made in the wording of many of the definitions and rules, and in the treatment of some important branches of the subject. In making alterations, however, it has been an object steadily kept in view, to disturb as little as possible the general features of the book, and yet to make such changes as would remove inaccuracies, supply deficiencies and render it more generally acceptable and serviceable to Canadian teachers. Special attention has been directed to the Infinitive and Participle; - a new rule accompanied by illustrations and explanations has been given for the construction of each. Considerable care, also, has been taken to present "shall" and "will" in their proper relation and use in the conjugation of the verb. Many of the Rules of Syntax have been changed, and important additions made to the exercises on most of the lessons. The selections in prose and poetry taken from the "Progressive Exercises in Analysis and Parsing," which have been appended, will add greatly to the value of the book, as it does away with the necessity and inconvenience which has hitherto existed, of introducing the "Progressive Exercises," in connection with the Grammar at an additional expense of almost as much as the grammar itself. As to the best method of using the book, every experienced teacher will himself be the best judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
