It forms a basis on which depends a vast\r\nportion of the happiness of mankind, and deserves the first\r\nattention of every philanthropist.\nGreat difficulty has been experienced in the common\r\nmethod of explaining language, and grammar has long been\r\nconsidered a dry, uninteresting, and tedious study, by nearly\r\nall the teachers and scholars in the land. But it is to be\r\npresumed that the fault in this case, if there is any, is to be\r\nsought for in the manner of teaching, rather than in the\r\nscience itself; for it would be unreasonable to suppose that\r\na subject which occupies the earliest attention of the parent,\r\nwhich is acquired at great expense of money, time, and\r\nthought, and is employed from the cradle to the grave, in\r\nall our waking hours, can possibly be dull or unimportant,\r\nif rightly explained.\n[vi]\r\nChildren have been required to learn verbal forms and\r\nchanges, to look at the mere signs of ideas, instead of the\r\nthings represented by them. The consequence has been\r\nthat the whole subject has become uninteresting to all who\r\ndo not possess a retentive verbal memory. The philosophy\r\nof language, the sublime principles on which it depends for\r\nits existence and use, have not been sufficiently regarded to\r\nrender it delightful and profitable.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17594 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Balch, William Stevens \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 24, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Balch, William Stevens,1806-1887 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217471668381,"sku":"gb-17594-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/17594.jpg?v=1671433354","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/lectures-on-language-as-particularly-connected-with-english-grammar-gb-17594","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
