Excerpt from An Abridgment of Murray's Grammar: To Which Is Added a Set of Lessons, Containing Examples, Explanations, Rules, and Questions, Suited to the Several Parts of Speech and Forms of the English LanguageThe scholar should not commence the study of Syntax, with complicated sentences but first be made acquainted with the agreement and government of words intheir most simple combinations. From adopting this method, the most important advantages will be derived. Teachers will be exempted from much labour, and at the same time find their pupils improve by hasty and pleasant steps.The dislike of the English Gram mar, which has so generally prevailed among those who have not advanced far enou' to discover its beauties, can only be attributed to the intricacy of syntax.
