Book Description
Excerpt from Studies in English Syntax Of the three papers here published the first appeared originally in the Publications of the Modern Language Association of America, new series, vol. viii (1900); the second was published in Modern Language Notes, Baltimore, vol. xix (1904). Both have been revised and augmented. The third paper has not before been published. The three belong together, being essays in interpretative syntax. The larger purpose of these essays is to interest the reader in the structure of the English language, to show him the wide reach of syntactical problems, and to discover and interpret by a scrutiny of all periods of the language some of the natural laws that underlie the architecture of English speech. It remains for the author to thank his critics, friendly and otherwise, for their comments on the first two papers as originally published. He would not be understood as underrating the service of statistics in syntax; but, believing as he does, that syntax is the autobiography of language, he believes more in weighing than in counting, and less in tabulation than in correlation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Historical Outlines of English Syntax I gratefully acknowledge my obligations to several eminent English scholars for repeated advice and valuable suggestions. Of these, Dr. F urnivall has the greatest claim on my gratitude. It was he who suggested to me the idea of working into their present English shape the materials which he knew I had been collecting for years, and it is through his help and untiring kindness that I have been able to overcome the many difficulties which naturally stood in my way. The quotations in my book will show what it owes to the Early English Text Society, a Society which has at last made possible a real study of the history of English, a Society which has earned the right to ten times the support it gets from English-speaking folk.

Book Description
Excerpt from Studies in the English of Bunyan The following pages contain the results of one term's work in the class-room, on the English of Bunyan. So much interest was manifested in these minute investigations into words and sentences that I have been led to gather up such results of our study, however slight and incomplete, as might attract the attention of teachers who care for any methods of training young scholars to habits of fine literary discrimination, and greater painstaking in their own composition. The plan of study here adopted calls first for the parsing of the sentence. Find the predicative combination, which is the framework of the sentence. Then fit in the other words where they belong, to the subject or to the predicate. If it be a compound sentence, take up the next clause, and define it as co-ordinate or subordinate to the principal or other clause, and then analyze as before. After the grammatical analysis, the sentence should be reviewed for the sake of the etymology of every word, and whatever philological principles can be applied to it. Then the rhetorical analysis.

Book Description
Excerpt from Inductive Studies in English Grammar This little book is a modest attempt to secure better preparation for the language Work of the high school by a scientific and thought inspiring method of presenting English grammar, by a reduction of the number of facts presented, to the few actually essential, by increased emphasis on certain matters often neglected but essential to any real mastery of the subject, and by adapting the terminology and method of presentation more closely to that used in German and Latin grammars.

Book Description
Excerpt from Studies in English Grammar: A Comprehensive Course for Grammar Schools, High Schools and Academies IN the preparation of this book, the essential features of Welsh's Lessons in English Grammar have been retained. Many chapters have been rewritten, others enlarged, and the entire work has been recast and rearranged. Two points have been kept prominently in view: (1) What the boy or girl of average ability knows of the use of our language before beginning the systematic study of its facts, and the laws and usages of its structure; (2) What amount of information such an one ought to possess of our language after having studied it intelligently for the length of time usually devoted to it in the graded and ungraded schools of the country. It is, therefore, assumed that they actually know some -thing concerning the language they speak and write, and that they are capable of learning a great deal more if they have an opportunity. The sentence is the unit of thought; its elements are words, phrases, and clauses. These taken separately are pieces of sentences. When properly put together, they are the vehicles of thought.
