Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Murray's English Exercises: Consisting of Exercises in Parsing, Instances of False Orthography, Violations of the Rules in Syntax, Defects in Punctuation, and Violations of the Rules Respecting Perspicuous and Accurate Writing

If there be any of a different complexion, it is presumed that they are but few, and that they will be found under those rules only, which from the nature of them, could not have been Otherwise dearly exemplified to young persons. The examples applicable tothe principal notes and observations, are carefully arranged under the respective rules of Syntax; and regularly numbered to make them correspond to the subordinate rules in the Grammar.
