Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essentials of English: A Textbook for Schools
This book is planned to afford the learner a practice review of the essentials of English gram mar, and a preparation for the study of formal and practical rhetoric. The book is, in brief, a manual of the working principles of English composition. It is designed to serve as a natural transition from the study of grammar to that of rhetoric proper. It is, for this reason, adapted to the needs of the higher classes in grammar schools and the lower classes in high schools.
