Ne quis igitur tanquam parva fastidiat Grammatices elementa."-QUINTILIAN. A NEW EDITION, WITH EXERCISES IN ANALYSIS AND PARSING, BY HENRY KIDDLE, A. M., SUPERINTENDENT OF COMMON SCHOOLS, NEW YORK CITY. NEW YORK: WILLIAM WOOD & CO., 27 GREAT JONES ST. 1873. 47 THE excellence of BROWN'S GRAMMARS, both as treatises and scho books, is very generally acknowledged. The repeated demands, howev for a more extended treatment of the "Analysis of Sentences" than w thought necessary by the author, has induced the publishers to issue a n edition, containing a full and progressive exposition of this department grammar, and an entirely new series of exercises and examples, both f analysis and parsing, with observations and references to make them corr spond with the body of the work. The exercises in Analysis, and the defin tions necessary to explain them, have not been confined to the departme of Syntax, as in most other grammatical text-books, but made to commend at a point where the intelligent progress of the pupil seems to demand suc aid. In the present edition numerous corrections and alterations have bee made, including new lists of Irregular and Redundant Verbs. There ha also been added a chapter of Oral Exercises (Appendix V.) intended as a introduction to the study of Grammar, which it is believed will be foun serviceable to many teachers. No attempt has been made to change th system of grammar therein explained; because, while no change could possibly accommodate it to the views of all, the intelligent teacher can find no difficulty in varying it, in a few minor particulars, so as to make it correspond with his own views. With these alterations, the publishers hope that these works will be found more useful to the public, and a more valuable aid to teachers in imparting instruction in this important branch of education AUGUST, 1872.
