Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School Grammar of the English Language Only those who, by teaching English grammar, come into Close contact with the young pupil, can know the difficulty of securing a satisfactory text-book. The prob lem of making an elementary treatise that is scholarly as well as sufficiently simple is one not easy of solution. The temptation to make a subject easy by mechanical devices or by short-cut methods is strong with the teacher; and the writer who supplies the text-book is strongly drawn to those expedients that will make the manual merely the most teachable. On the other hand, there is a temptation to the student of historical English to sup pose the grammar school child not only eager for the intricacies of linguistic development, but able to com prehend them.
