Excerpt from An Introduction to the Use of the English Language: Grammar and Rhetoric Combined The facts to which the attention of the student is called, are few in comparison with the number found in treatises on Gram mar. Those are given which are necessary to an intelligent entrance upon the correct use of the language. It is a mistake to present to the young student, at the outset, an exhaustive discussion of any topic. By Observing and applying in practice the facts contained in this work, the student Will form in his mind a nucleus for ac cretion from further Observations. Hence, the work is not de signed to supersede treatises on' grammar, but to put the mind of the student in a condition to use them to advantage.
