Sinopsis
Excerpt from A New and Improved English Grammar: Intended for the Use of Colleges, Schools, and Private Students
It may, indeed, be questioned whether they who have professed to treat of these subjects in a trea tise on grammar, have not been guilty of attempt ing more than their subject demanded. Grammar has been defined the art of speaking and writing any language properly. If this definition be correct, grammar is, indeed, a very extensive subject, com prehending Ortho'e'py, Elocution, and Rhetoric, as well as Orthography, Etymology, Syntax, and Proso dy. The word, howeverydoes not seem to imply all this. It is derived from a Greek word, which sigui fies to write, and the grammarian, therefore, it would seem, has to do with written language only. And, should he succeed in teaching how to write the lan guage of which he treats, correctly, he will have ao complished all that his subject requires of him. This is all, at least, that has been attempted in the work now presented to the reader; and the, author is quite sensible, that, with the little time, talent, and patience that he could bring to bear upon the subject, if more had been attempted, less had been effected.
