Excerpt from The Principles of Latin Grammar: Comprising the Substance of the Most Approved Grammars Extant, With an Appendix and Complete Index; For the Use of Schools and CollegesThe system adopted by Dr. Bullions in his series of Grammars is SO well known, that it requires no lengthy explanation now. H is view was, that while all efforts should be made by the teacher and by the writer of text-books, to make pupils understand the princi ples Of what they were taught, it was still of the greatest advantage that the main facts of the subject should be presented in such a way that they might readily be committed to memory, and that thus young persons should easily be furnished with a succinct and scian tific statement of the chief doctrines imparted to them, expressed in a more compendious and logical form than they could be expected to frame for themselves. In this edition of Dr. Bullions' Latin Grammar, this fundamental conception of the proper way of pre senting the subject has been in no degree departed from. In the subordinate treatment of the subject, however, some alterations have been made, which the Editor hopes may be thought improvements, and which he must now brieﬂy particularize.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Principles of English Grammar: Comprising the Substance of the Most Approved English Grammar Extant, With Copious Exercises in Parsing and Syntax; And an Appendix of Various and Useful Matter, for the Use of SchoolsA knowledge of English Grammar is very properly considered an indispensable part of an English education; and is now taught as such, in all our Academies and Common Schools. The great number of elementary works which have recently appeared on this subject, is a pleasing evidence of the attention which has been bestowed upon it. Among these, none has enjoyed greater favour than the Grammar of Lindley Murray; and the high rank which it still holds among the numerous works which have appeared since its publication, is a decided testimony to the soundness of its principles and the excellence of the system. With all its excellence, however, it is far from being incapable of improvement; and the attempt to add to its value as a manual for schools, by correcting what is erroneous, retrenching what is superfluous or unimportant, compressing what is prolix, elucidating what is obscure, determining what was left doubtful, supplying what is defective, and bringing up the whole to that state of improvement to which the labours of eminent scientific and practical writers of the present day have so greatly contributed, can hardly fail, if well executed, to prove acceptable to the public. Such was my design; and though there may be reason to regret that it has not been undertaken by some one more capable of doing justice to the subject, still it is hoped that the labour bestowed, in order to carry it into effect, will not be altogether in vain.In endeavouring to avoid the minutiae and diffuseness of the larger Grammar, care has been taken to guard against the opposite extreme. The abridgments of Murray now in use, are little more than a synopsis of the larger work; presenting a mere outline of the subject, altogether too meagre to be of much service to the learner. The same remark is applicable to a great number of smaller works which have been published with a similar view; namely, to serve as an introduction to a more extended system.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Principles of Latin Grammar: Comprising the Substance of the Most Approved Grammars Extant; With an Appendix; For the Use of Schools and CollegesIn the study of any language, the foundation of success must be laid in a thorough acquaintance with its principles. This being once attained, future progress becomes easy and rapid. To the student of language, therefore, a good Grammar, which must be his constant companion, is of all his books the most important, Such a work, to be really valuable, ought to be simple in its arrangement and style, so as to be adapted to the capacity of youth, for whose use it is designed; comprehensive, and accurate, so as to be a sufficient and certain guide in the most difficult as in easy cases; and its principles and rules should be rendered familiar by numerous examples and exercises.The fundamental principles are nearly the same in all languages. So far as Grammar is concerned, the difference lies chiefly in the minor details - in the forms and inflections of their words, and in the modes of expression peculiar to each, usually dominated idioms. It would seem, therefore, to be proper, in constructing Grammars for different languages, that the principles, so far as they are the same, should be arranged in the same order, and expressed as nearly as possible in the same words. Where this is carefully done, the study of the Grammar of one language becomes an important aid in the study of another; - an opportunity is afforded of seeing wherein they agree, and wherein they differ, and a profitable exercise is furnished in comparative or general grammar. But when a Latin Grammar is put into the hands of the student, differing widely in its arrangement or phraseology from the English Grammar which he had previously studied, and afterwards a Greek Grammar different from both, not only is the benefit derived from the analogy of the different languages in a great measure lost, but the whole subject is made to appear intolerably intricate and mysterious.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
