THE GRAMMATIC READERS,
NOS. I., II., III.
By EDWARD HAZEN, A, M.,
AUTHOR OF “SPELLER AND DEFINER,” “SYMBOLICAL SPELLING
BOOK,” ETC., ETC.
ILLUSTRATED WITH NUMEROUS ENGRAVINGS,
FROM DESIGNS BY
J. G. CHAPMAN, Esq.,
Which have been engraved and printed in the best style.
These Readers are adapted to beginners in reading, as well as to
advanced scholars who need improvement in their pronunciation of
words and in their quantity in uttering sentences. In the first two
Numbers, the parts of speech are presented in every variety of construction;
and every association is so clearly and fully illustrated by
examples, that pupils, who use them for reading only, can hardly fail
to acquire a practical knowledge of the structures of the language, even
though they omit the rules of grammar which accompany them.
The phraseology is manly throughout; and, if pupils be thoroughly
drilled in reading the several lessons, nearly every association of words
will be committed to memory, and the whole, combined, will form the
basis of a correct style of speaking and writing.
These reading lessons constitute a complete series of parsing lessons,
to which may be applied the system of etymology and syntax which
accompanies them, or any other system which the teacher may prefer:
and every example may be proposed as a model to be imitated by pupils
in advanced classes.
On account of the orderly arrangement of the constructions of the
language, grammar and composition may be here learned much earlier
than it has hitherto been thought to be possible. As a theoretical and
practical grammar, teachers will find these books adapted to pupils of
every grade of knowledge in this branch of learning.
The first Reader is embellished with 82 engravings, and the second
with 68; all of which are executed in the very best manner, from original
designs. No other school books have ever been so splendidly
illustrated, or so beautifully printed.
In the third Reader are repeated the engravings of the first, accompanied
by concise articles, or essays, on the several subjects suggested
by the designs of the artist. The book is to be used first for reading,
and then as a guide in composition. Teachers will find it precisely
adapted to these purposes, if they have been thorough in drilling their
pupils in the preceding Numbers.
