Excerpt from Introductory Lessons in English Grammar This little book is designed merely as an introduction to a larger work on the same subject by the same author. Its object is to make the young learner acquainted with the parts of speech and their inflections. Much more reliance is placed on the exercises than on the definitions. It is recommended to the teacher that, in addition to the examples and illustrations, he should take some simple reading-book and give his pupils thorough practice in distinguishing the parts of speech, cases, moods, tenses, etc. The learner must, of course, thoroughly understand every sentence he undertakes to analyze. The First, Second, and Third School Readers, by Noble Butler, are well adapted to this purpose, all the lessons having been prepared with special reference to the capacity of very young children, and the words being easy and generally short. Butler's Practical Grammar of the English Language forms a sequel to the present work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
