The want of a really good, practical School Grammar is still felt, and it has been the aim of the writers of the present book to meet thatw ant. Care hass been taken to state the rules and definitions in accurate terms, at the same time keeping in view conciseness and clearness of expression. As the work is intended for schools and students of all classes, the writers have endeavoured to combine simplicity with exhaustiveness. Use has been made of the results of the labours of the best philologists so as to secure a scientific treatment of the subject.
