Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from School Grammar
No apology is needed for restoring to its proper place as a department of grammar, word-formation, or derivation and equally in accord with the demands of the best teachers is the addition of a full chapter on the history of the English language (chapter viii. Of the book). The chapter on Economy of Attention contains many things which can not be conveniently classified under any one of the four great divisions of grammar, but which every student of English should know As the title indicates, the leading idea is borrowed from Herbert Spencer's invaluable Essay on Style.
