This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from A Grammar of the English Language: For the Use of Schools In the present edition of the School Grammar, that portion of the work which is devoted to Analysis has been re-written and greatly enlarged. It will now be found characterized by completeness in the presentation of principles, and by copious ness in the illustrations. The remarks which accompany the illustrative examples explain a great variety of idioms and forms of construction, and will be found more useful to the learner than the same number of special rules. The chapter on the Grammatical Connection and Relation of Words, p. 134, has met with special favor among intelligent teachers. It has been carefully revised in the present edition.

Excerpt from In Memoriam, William Harvey Wells: Sketches of His Life and Character His ardent desire to enjoy higher and better advantages was at length gratified; and though he was obliged to labor daily with his hands to meet the expense of his board, his tasks, both in school and out of it, were per formed with a light heart, and life Opened bright before him.

(When the first edition of this Grammar was published, it ...)
When the first edition of this Grammar was published, it contained more principles and exercises in Grammatical Analysis thin had appeared in any work previously issued in this country. It would have been easy to embody the more abstruse principles of Analysis which are contained in the works of Kuhner, Crane, De Sacy, and other foreign writers, but it was feared that such a system would rather confuse than aid the pupils in our schools. All the fundamental principles of Analysis were presented, and teachers were urged to introduce their pupils as early as practicable to this important branch, of grammatical study. It was not, however, intended to recommend that Grammatical Analysis should supersede the essential exercises of Etymological andS yntactical Parsing. The tendency of our schools is to reach at once toward that which is called higher, and neglect that which has the misfortune to be regarded as lower ;while it is obvious that the lower departments of study are at least equally important with the higher, and that neither should be allowed to take the place of the other. It is not then remarkable, that many teachers should have gone from a mere routine of common parsing to the opposite extreme, and devoted their attention almost exclusively to A nalysis. Hence we find at the present time not a few schools in which pupils know very little of Etymological andS yntactical Parsing, while they are able to recite with uncommon fluency in all the forms of technical A nalysis.

William Harvey Wells was born in Tolland, Connecticut, the son of Harvey and Rhoda (Chapman) Wells. He was the descendant of Samuel, the son of Thomas Welles who emigrated from England, settled in Hartford in 1636, and became governor of Connecticut.
He worked on his father's farm, attended the district school, spent two terms, 1829-30, at an academy in Vernon, Connecticut, and then entered an academy at Tolland.
He taught district school at Vernon. Impaired eyesight forced him to abandon going to college, but he began to teach at the grammar school in East Hartford, Connecticut. In 1834 he spent eight months in the Teachers' Seminary conducted by the Rev. Samuel R. Hall at Andover, Massachussets In September 1834 he returned to the grammar school in East Hartford and a year later became principal. In 1836 he was recalled to the Teachers' Seminary at Andover as teacher of English and mathematics, where he taught for eleven years. In 1846 he published his school grammar, of which 90 editions were printed, under various titles, by 1859. In 1847 he was elected principal of the Putnam Free School, Newburyport, Massachussets; and, until April 1848, when his new duties began, he assisted Henry Barnard [q. v. ] in conducting teachers' institutes in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. He was an active institute lecturer in the cause of teacher training, president of the Essex County teachers' association, 1848-49, a founder of the Massachusetts teachers' association, its president, 1851-53, and one of the first editors of the Massachusetts Teacher. In 1854 he was appointed principal of the state normal school at Westfield, Massachussets, a position he held until 1856, when he was elected superintendent of public schools in Chicago, Ill. Shortly after his arrival in Chicago, he organized the first high school in the city, for girls as well as boys. Appreciating the need of qualified teachers, he insisted on the establishment of a training department. He succeeded in obtaining a provision in the new city charter to abolish the district organization; and he established a centralized system under the control of a board of education. As early as 1861 he introduced a graded system of schools, and he prepared for it a course of study which was widely used throughout the country. His book on the Graded Course of Instruction (1861) was later embodied in The Graded School (1862), which went through many editions. In 1857 he became a member of the board of education of the state of Illinois. He was one of the organizers of a state normal school in Illinois in 1857 and was an active member of its board of trustees, 1857-69. In 1860 he was elected president of the Illinois state teachers' association and in 1863 of the national teachers' association. Resigning from the superintendency in 1864, he spent the rest of his life in business pursuits.
