Excerpt from Elementary Lessons in Language and Grammar: Being a Remodeled And; Revised Edition of an Elementary Grammar and Composition After a test of many years' successful use in schools, Harvey's "Language Course" still holds the place it has made for itself in the esteem of teachers who look for solid results. The fact that pupils studying this course go forth from the schools with a firmer grasp of the structure of the English language, a surer skill in the expression of their own thoughts, and a keener appreciation of expression in others, than is evidenced by students of some of the more recent books, has induced many progressive teachers to cling to Harvey's works in spite of newer methods of presentation. To satisfy the teachers who, while they faithfully adhere to the excellencies of the Harvey Grammars, yet appreciate the attractive features and pedagogical value of some more modern text-books on the subject, the present revision has aimed to combine the old with the new, - retaining the solid substance of Harvey's work presented in a form more conformable to modem demands. The work as remodeled contains, first, a graded series of lessons on grammar, designed to give a clear understanding of its fundamental principles; second, a practical application of these principles in language work and composition.
