FIRST LESSONS IN LANGUAGE: OR, ELEMENTS OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR. BY DAVID B. TOWER, A. M., AND PROF. BENJAMIN F. TWEED, A. M.
This little book was prepared for beginners, that they might feel their way understandingly, and become interested in this sometimes dry study. This subject is presented in a natural way, avoiding all unnecessary innovations. The plan is simple and plain, introducing only one thing at a time, that the pupil may see a reason for each step, and thus be led to think. It is concise, that the whole subject may be placed before the learner in the simplest manner and encumbered by as few words for the memory as possible, that the interest may be kept up till he is master of the study. By easy questions, principles are deduced from familiar examples already explained for the sake of such inferences, that a clear understanding of these principles and their application may be acquired, rather than the words used to explain and describe them.

OR, GUIDE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE BY THE ANALYSIS AND COMPOSITION OF SENTENCES; WITH A SEQUEL. BY DAVID B. TOWER, A. M., AND PROF. BENJAMIN F. TWEED, A. M.
The first object in the Gradual Lessons in Grammar, is to render the pupil familiar with the different CLASSES of words, in the various _relations_ in which they may be used, by directing attention to the manner in which they affect the _meaning_ of the sentence. Thus it is stated, that "words used as names are nouns." Then follow examples of the different kinds of nouns, and the pupil is required to tell _why_ they are nouns, and to write others, till he recognizes the noun wherever it is found.
