Excerpt from English Exercises, Adapted to Murray's English Grammar: Consisting of Exercises in Parsing; Instances of False Orthography; Violations of the Rules of Syntax; Defects in Punctuation, and Violations of the Rules Respecting Perspicuous and Accurate Writing

As many of the examples contain several errors in the same sentence, and some of them admit of various constructions in amending them, it has been thought proper to publish a key for ascertaining all the corrections and this has been the more expedi ent from the work's being designed for the benefit of private learners, as well as for the use of schools. The Key to the part on Orthography might have been omitted, had not some of the sentences con tained so many words erroneously Spelled, as to render it probable that several of them would, in that case, have been inadvertently passed over especially by persons who may not have the advan~ tage of a tutor. In forming the key, it appeared to be more elligible, to repeat the sentences at large, with their corrections, than simply to exhibit the amendments by themselves. In the mode adopted, the work has a more regular and uniform appear ance the correspondent parts may be more readily compared; and the propriety of the corrections will be more apparent and striking.
