4.9/5 (24760 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Grammar and Practice The cynic has remarked that there are but two sorts of person who can profit by the study of formal grammar: a very young person whose speech-habits are unformed, and an older person who has formed bad habits he wishes to correct. For the former, the cynic adds, grammar, being a science, comes too early; what he needs is a good example, practice, and incidental correction, since use gains by use rather than by rule. For the latter, grammar comes too late, since he is either past helping or he must be reformed bit by bit; he also needs a good example, practice, and incidental correction. Grammar, the cynic concludes, is a useless study. This little book audaciously pretends to be useful to both these persons. But there is another person whose habits of thought no less than of speech are in process of forming; he is enrolled in the upper class of an elementary school, in the lower class of a high school, or in the junior high school, and in beginning his indispensable training in formal composition finds himself baffled by mere problems of correct grammar, and therefore, much hindered in expression. His need is great. Under the illusory title of "English" he is in many cases being taught a mixture of grammar, rhetoric, and literature, with somewhat indefinite ideas on each and no definite ideas at all as to the right relations of one branch to another. Properly enough, composition is being emphasized in his training, but often without any sound instruction in the grammatical functions of words, phrases and clauses in a sentence; structural grammar particularly is being neglected. This book is meant for this person especially; it is, so to speak, aimed at his head. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
