Excerpt from Grammar for Composition
The method of cultivating style by way of grammar was slowly developed during nineteen years of teaching (1898 1917) before any of it was published. Between 1917 and 1932 the method was clarified and extended in a series of compo sitiou textbooks that were frequently revised; it was outlined in Chapter VI of What Is English? And in numerous articles for the pedagogical journals. These exhibits of really func tional grammar were partial and scattered descriptions of how composition could be improved by the right teaching of grammar. There has never been any complete, and systematic exposition of how good sentences are produced by means of the study of syntax. For many years I have been wishing to make the exposition in a book devoted entirely to this one purpose. At last there is an opportunity to carry out this purpose. I have written Grammar for Composition.
This is a grammar. All the technicalities of forms and classifications are here, systematically arranged for reference. But the arrangement and emphasis of subjects are such as to make the book quite unlike any text previously published, as can be seen in the following numbered paragraphs.
