TO Harvey's Practical Grammar (REVISED EDITION) INCLUDING ANALYSIS BY DIAGRAMS -BY- THOS, EUBANK. ELEVENTH EDITION 1913 J. R. Holcomb & Company Cleveland, Ohio Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1881, by J. R. HOLCOMB & COMPANY In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. Copyright, by J. R. Holcomb & Co., 1885 It has been the author's experience as a school examiner, that teachers are better versed in Arithmetic than in English Grammar. If then, Keys to arithmetics and algebras are demanded, though the answers to the problems are published, much more are they needful to the more difficult study of grammar. This Key is mainly intended for young teachers and for pupils pursuing the study without instructors; but even experienced teachers may derive from it many an excellent hint. The views of other grammarians are sometimes given as well as those of Harvey; but teachers will find it expedient to stick to Harvey when teaching Harvey; stick to Holbrook when teaching Holbrook, etc. The author has merely aimed to answer what the text demands, so that the teacher can use the exercises merely corrected for parsing exercises, if he finds his pupils depending on the Key. THOS. EUBANK. NEW MADISON, O., July 10, 1881. PREFACE TO FIFTH EDITION. To meet the demand for a complete KEY TO HARVEY'S GRAMMAR, eighty-eight pages, in which are presented Diagrams of all the most difficult sentences to be parsed, have been added to this work. There is no question that Diagrams are superior to any other Analysis. The Brace System herein presented is believed to be the simplest and best of the many Systems of Diagrams in use. This system can be made complete by placing above and to the right of each word the number of its rule of syntax. Thus, "That boy spends his money foolishly." boy1 | That12 spends13 money his3 CELINA, O., November 27, 1885. THOS. EUBANK. Α ΚΕΥ ΤΟ HARVEY'S ENGLISH GRAMMAR. BY THOS. EUBANK.
