Excerpt from Grammar Made Easy

Grammar is the science which treats of the principles and rules of spoken and written language; and teaches the proper use of letters, syllables, words, and sentences.

The object of English grammar is to teach those who use the English language to express their thoughts correctly, either in speaking or writing.

Dr. Blair, in his "Lectures on Rhetoric," says: - "The structure of language is extremely artificial; and there are few sciences in which a deeper or more refined logic is employed than in grammar. It is apt to be slighted by superficial thinkers, as belonging to those rudiments of knowledge which were inculcated upon us in our earliest youth. But what was then inculcated before we could comprehend its principles would abundantly repay our study in maturer years."

But few persons can afford time for the study of grammar, and perhaps fewer still have the inclination. The English language is, without doubt, the mos neglected, and carelessly spoken and written, language in Europe. Tenfold the time and attention that is given to it is devoted by the educated classes to the study of Greek and Latin; and it may be truly affirmed that there are more men in England who can write Greek and Latin correctly than who can write English. An Oxford examiner states, in the "Public Schools Report," that in one of the examinations In Litcris Humanioribus, "nearly half the passmen were imperfect spellers," and that "five-sixths of the pupil-teachers in schools receiving aid from Government are better readers than five-sixths of the men who come to the University."
