Exercises for Parsing and Analysis (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Exercises for Parsing and Analysis

A ruling conviction of the compilers of Exercises for Parsing and Analysis is that illustrative matter should be drawn from real literature; in this book, accordingly, the Bible, Shakespeare's works, Alice in Wonderland, Poor Richard's Almanac, Andersen's and Grimm's tales, for instance, are met with frequently. In this way the drudgery of parsing and analyzing becomes the means of recalling pleasantly a book friend already made, and of piquing curiosity as to some book not yet read.

The book is designed for pupils of several classes. For those entering the eighth or ninth year of the secondary school. With some good training in grammar immediately back of them, it affords matter for one or two years of study, presenting constructions and sentences more difficult than could have been grasped before. For pupils whose study of grammar has been neglected till they are of high school age, it serves to give rapidly and concisely and with concentration of time and effort, the foundation essential for intelligent work in rhetoric and composition. For students in their last year of preparation for the College Entrance Board and the Bryn Mawr examinations in English grammar, it serves admirably for review. A. C.
