Excerpt from New Grammar of French Grammars: Comprising the Substance of All the Most Approved French Grammars Extant, but More Especially of the Standard Work, Grammaire Des Grammaires
My aim in this volume has been to produce a work which, without being a mere compilation, should embody the substance of the latest edition decisions of the French Academy, with the most lucid and concise rules of the best modern French Grammarians.
My plan has been to give everything useful, and nothing superfluous. I have studied to make the definitions at once clear and precise, that they may be readily understood and easily retained. When I judged it necessary, I have also presented the rules in a new light, in order to adapt them to the capacity of youthful students. I have further endeavoured to arrange and distribute the matter, so as to embrace, within a narrow compass, much more information than is usually found in grammatical class-books. Indeed, there is not a useful Rule or Observation in the largest grammar in print that is not to be found in this.
