Harvey's Revised English Grammar
Thomas Harvey
Thomas Harvey’s English Grammar
has been a classic for over a century. Introduced in the 19th century
before the dumbing down of our schools, it was meant to follow Harvey’s Elementary Grammar,
and not only makes a fine reference, but can be used to teach older
students grammar who missed it in the grammar stage. A great benefit to
this grammar over Warriner’s is that so many of the examples and exercies are from the Bible, Shakespeare, and other great literature. As with Harvey’s Elementary Grammar,
the style of presenting lessons is not what we are used to, but the
content is exemplary. The first section reviews orthography, the second
teaches etymology, the third syntax, and the fourth prosody, which
deals with versification in poetry. The final section provides
instruction in both the standard and a revised method of diagramming
sentences.
