English Grammar.

W. M. BASKERVILL

J. W. SEWELL.

CLOTH. 12mo. 349 PAGES. 90 CENTS.

PROF. ALBERT S. COOK, Yale University:

"I very much like the scholarliness of Baskervill and Sewell's English Grammar. If it teaches as well as it reads, it will be widely used, and will disseminate sounder notions of the language than have been prevalent."

PROF. J. W. BRIGHT, Johns Hopkins University:

"At all points at which I have tested Baskervill and Sewell's English Grammar I like it very much. I am sure it will have an influence in counteracting the present tendency to ignore the educational value of thorough, timely discipline in formal grammar." DR. THOMAS R. PRICE, Columbia College:

"Baskervill and Sewell's English Grammar is so solid, so well arranged, so sound and clear in statement, as to lead me to believe that it is the English grammar that we have for so many years been waiting for."

DR. W. J. ROLFE, in the Critic of August 1, 1896: "The English Grammar prepared by Prof. Baskervill, of Vanderbilt University, and Mr. J. W. Sewell, of the Nashville (Tenn.) High School, is the best book of its compass that we remember to have seen. It will be an excellent text-book for high schools and academies, and a convenient manual of reference for people in general who want a guide to good modern usage, free from the ordinary bigotry and dogmatism of the average school grammar. It is at once scholarly and liberal-liberal, we might say, because it is really scholarly, recognizing the authority of good usage even where it varies from the strict letter of old-fashioned grammatical law, because the authors, being familiar with the history of the language (which writers of most text-books of grammar are not), understand that our vernacular has no cast-iron rigidity, but is undergoing changes nowadays as it has been in the past.
