Excerpt from A High School Grammar: Dealing With the Science of the English Language, the History of the Parts of Speech, the Philosophy of the Changes These Have Undergone, and Present Usage Respecting Forms in Dispute

This is a historical and scientific grammar. It has been written to supplement Graded Lessons in English and Higher Lessons in English, - to help the student to a technical knowledge of the language which they. Do not attempt to give.

The scope of the present work has forc us to pay far less attention here to the sentence as a unit. We still believe that a patient study of the sentence is essential to an intelligent knowledge of the parts of speech, to a correct use of grammatical forms, and to an acquaintance with a general principles of discourse. We still believe that such study simplifies translation, and is the best logi cal discipline available for the student; that the greatest good to be attained through the study of English grammar is not skill in parsing, but skill in composing; and that the thorough analysis of all kinds of sentences is, more than any other one thing, helpful to the student in constructn such sentences. This conviction is embodied in our former works.
