Excerpt from A Grammar Containing the Etymology and Syntax of the English Language: For Advanced Grammar Grades, and for High Schools, Academies, Etc This text-book of English Grammar forms the advanced manual of Harper's "New Language Series," and is designed for study in connection with the author's New School Composition. In a graded course on the English language it is intended to fill the place of the book known as the Progressive Grammar. That, in such a course, it will fill that place in a manner more satisfactory than the work just named may reasonably be hoped from the considerations adduced in the following paragraphs. At the time when the Progressive Grammar was first published (1872), it had become a conviction in the minds of many thoughtful teachers and others that English grammar, as set forth in books and taught in schools, was failing to accomplish its avowed end, namely, "to teach the art of speaking and writing the English language with propriety." The Progressive Grammar was an attempt to break loose from the shackles of purely technical grammar - to strip it of fruitless formalism, and to introduce the constructive element. It may be remarked that the author's views did not then extend beyond that one book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Etymology and Syntax of the English Language Explained: Illustrated The success, with which the principles of any art or science are investigated, is generally proportioned to the number of those, whose labours are directed to its cultivation and improvement. Inquiry is necessarily the parent of knowledge; error itself, proceeding from discussion, leads ultimately to the establishment of truth. Were we to estimate our progress in the knowledge of English grammar from the number of works already published on the subject, we should perhaps be prompted to infer, that in a field so circumscribed, and at the same time so often and so ably explored, no object worthy of notice could have escaped attention.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1836 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II. CRITICAL REMARKS AND ILLUSTRATIONS. Having, in the preceding chapter, explained the nature of that usage which gives law to language; and having proposed a few rules for the student's direction in cases where usage is divided, and also where her authority may be justly questioned, and checked by criticism; I intend, In the following pages, to present the young reader with a copious exemplification of the three general species of error against grammatical purity, arranging the examples in the order of the parts of speech. SECTION I. THE NOUN. BARBARISM. "I Rode in a one-horse chay." It ought to be " a onehorse chaise." There is no such word as chay. "That this has been the true and proper deception of this word, I shall testify by one evidence."--Hammond. Acception is obsolete; it ought to be acceptation. "Were the workmen to enter into a contrary combination of the same kind, not to accept of a certain wage."--Wealth of Natiojis. Wage is obsolete; the plural only is used. "Their alliance was sealed by the nuptial of Henry, with the daughter of the Italian prince.'"--Gibbon. Nuptial has not, I believe, been used as a substantive since the days of Shakspeare, and may be deemed obsolete. The plural nuptials is the proper word. "He showed that he had a full comprehension of the whole of the plan, and of the judicious adaption of the parts to the whole."--Sheridan's Life of Sioift. Adaption is obsolescent, if not obsolete: adaptation is the proper term. Adaption is frequently employed by Swift, from whom Sheridan seems to have copied it. "Which even his brother modernists themselves, like ungrates, whisper so loud that it reaches up to the very garret I am now writing in."--Swift. "Ungrate" is a barbarism. "Ingrate" is to be found...

The success with which the principles of any art or science are investigated, is generally proportioned to the number of those, whose labours are directed to its cultivation and improvement. Inquiry is necessarily the parent of knowledge; error itself, proceeding from discussion, leads ultimately to the establishment of truth. The author indeed is fully persuaded, that it is impossible to examine the English language with any degree of critical accuracy, and not perceive, that its syntactical principles especially are yet but imperfectly illustrated, and that there are many of its idioms, which have entirely eluded the attention of our grammarians. That these defects are all supplied by the present work, the author is far from having the vanity to believe.
