BULLIONS' SERIES OF GRAMMARS AND ELEMENTARY CLASSICS. This series consists of the following WORKS, viz: I. PRACTICAL LESSONS IN ENGLISH GRAMMAR. This little book contains a brief synopsis of the leading principles of English Grammar, every part of which is illustrated by a great variety of exercises, of the simplest character, adapted to the capacity of pupils at an early age.-New edition, revised and improved. LEIRINCIPLES OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR. This work is intended as a school Grammar, for the use of classes pursuing this branch of study in the common schools, or of the junior classes in academies. It embraces all that is important on the subject, expressed with accuracy, brevity, and simplicity, and is peculiarly adapted to the purposes of instruction in public schools. III. THE ANALYTICAL AND PRACTICAL ENGLISH GRAMMAR. This work, designed for the more advanced classes in schools and academies, is prepared on a more extended plan than the preceding, though not essentially different from it. The arrangement (except in syntax), the definitions and rules, are the same, but with much greater fulness in the illustrations and exercises, intended to lead the student into a thorough and critical acquaintance with the structure and use of the English Language. IV.-EXERCISES IN ANALYSIS AND PARSING. This little work consists of selections in prose and poetry from standard writers, so arranged as to furnish a convenient and progressive course of Exercises in Analysis and Parsing, in every variety of style, with such occasional references to the grammars as are deemed necessary to explain peculiar or difficult constructions. To this is prefixed directions for the analysis of sentences and models both of analysis and parsing. V. THE PRINCIPLES OF LATIN GRAMMAR. This work is upon the foundation of Adam's Latin Grammar, so long and favorably known as a text-book, and combines with all that is excellent in that work many important corrections and improvements suggest ed by subsequent writers, or the results of the author's own reflection and observation, during many years, as a classical teacher. This work forms a sequel to the Grammar, and an introduction to the study of Latin classic authors. It begins with a series of simple and plain sentences mostly selected from classic writers, to exemplify and illustrate the leading constructions of the language, followed by Reading Lessons, of pure and simple Latin, chiefly narrative, by which the pupil, while he becomes familiar with the construction of the language, is also made acquainted with many of the most prominent characters and mythological fables of antiquity, as well as with the leading events of Roman history. Throughout the work, references are constantly made, at the foot of the page, to the Grammar and Introduction, when necessary to explain the construction or assist the pupil in his preparations. |
