Excerpt from An Exegesis of English Syntax: Designed to Enable Teachers, Pupils, and Others to Comprehend Fully, the Present Popular System of English Grammar, as Presented by Murray, and Simplified by Later Writers Designed to enable teachers to comprehend fully, the present papular system of English Grammar, as presented by Murray, and simplified by later writers. Whether teachers will be very ready to thank me for the pains which I have taken to enable them to comprehend what they have so long professed to teach, depends entirely upon their willingness to express that gratitude which every instructer of youth who shall have read this work, must feel toward its author. My position is that teachers use' the present popular system of English Grammar, not because they do understand it, but because they do not understand it. And in this little work, I propose to enable them to understand it, and to make them, not only willing, but glad to renounce it.
