Practical Grammar, Based Upon the Text of Longfellow's "Evangeline" and a Selection From Prescott's "Conquest of Mexico,"

By William Christopher Sayrs

Practical Grammar, by William Christopher Sayrs, offers a unique approach to mastering English grammar through the study of classic literature. This textbook, originally published in 1903, uses Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Evangeline" and selections from William H. Prescott's "Conquest of Mexico" as the basis for practical exercises and examples.

Designed to make grammar accessible and engaging, the book emphasizes the practical application of grammatical rules rather than rote memorization. Students learn to identify and analyze grammatical structures within the context of beautifully written prose and historical narrative.

This volume is a valuable resource for students and educators seeking a time-tested, literature-based approach to grammar instruction. It provides a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century educational methods, blending literary appreciation with rigorous grammatical study.
