English Lessons: For Schoolroom Use (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from English Lessons: For Schoolroom Use

The object of this little book is threefold. First, to convey lessons on the structure of the English lan guage, in a more gradual and perhaps pleasanter manner than can be done by the study of the usual grammars (though these are necessary too), and per haps in a manner better suited to the restless and volatile intelligences of children; Secondly, to draw out and stimulate the reasoning faculties as exercised in the endeavour to follow an elaborate thought, elaborately expressed and, Thirdly, to serve as an introduction to some of those masterpieces of English thought and ex pression, which alone, in the writer's opinion, can be the true foundation of any rational study of the English language.
