Excerpt from English Grammar Made Easy, and Adapted to the Capacity of Children
At the same time, we are fully convinced that the cause of these obstructions does not exist so much in the subject of Grammar itself, as in the manner in which the subject has been treated. Although we have examined upwards of thirty differ ent English Grammars, we have not seen one adapted to the capacity of children: they are all decidedly too technical, evenin their very first lessons, and consequently too abstruse for the use of children. They demand an amount of knowledge in children of seven or eight years, which is rarely possessed by youths of twelve or fourteen.* It is very important that children should commence their grammatical studies early. Vulgaris ms and other improprieties of speech, as well as imperfections in Orthography and Syntax, when once acquired, are very tenacious, and can never be thoroughly eradicated. It is, therefore, highly desirable that an elementary book on English Grammar, at once easy and interesting, should be placed in the hands of our younger pupils: such a book is an important desideratum. It is confidently hoped that this desideratum will be adequately supplied by the present publication.

Excerpt from English Grammar Made Easy, and Adapted to the Capacity of Children: In Which English Accidence and Etymological Parsing Are Rendered Simple and Attractive
Children, in general, have an aversion to Grammar. Their universal complaints are that it is difficult, - that it is disagreeable, - that, in fact, they cannot understand it. We sincerely feel and acknowledge the justness of these complaints.
At the same time, we are fully convinced that the cause of these obstructions does not exist so much in the subject of Grammar itself, as in the manner in which the subject has been treated. Although we have examined upwards of thirty different English Grammars, we have not seen one adapted to the capacity of children: they are all decidedly too technical, even in their very first lessons, and consequently too abstruse for the use of children. They demand an amount of knowledge in children of seven or eight years, which is rarely possessed by youths of twelve or fourteen.
It is very important that children should commence their grammatical studies early. Vulgarisms and other improprieties of speech, as well as imperfections in Orthography and Syntax, when once acquired, are very tenacious, and can never be thoroughly eradicated.
It is, therefore, highly desirable that an elementary book on English Grammar, at once easy and interesting, should be placed in the hands of our younger pupils: such a book is an important desideratum. It is confidently hoped that this desideratum will be adequately supplied by the present publication.
The simplicity and novelty of the plan upon which it is constructed, will be readily understood from the following summary.
