This new Grammar is designed for advanced students who desire to extend their studies in English beyond the course ordinarily pursued in Common or Grammar Schools. In this work, grammar is treated as a science based on facts and principles derived from the actual use of the language and not from technical rules and traditions.

Its aim is to lead the pupil to deduce for himseif grammatical rules from the best examples of construction and style to be found in English literature and to acquire skill in their use. For this purpose abundant and apposite quotations from standard authors are given to illustrate each grammatical relation and construction and to show the student that he is dealing with the facts of the language and not with the theories of the grammarians.

While the book represents original and advanced methods it is at the same time conservative in treatment, and aims to preserve what is good in the older methods.

Copies of Baskervill and Sewell's English Grammar will be sent prepaid to any address on receipt of the price, by the Publishers:
