Higher Lessons in English: A work on English grammar and composition
Produced by Karl Hagen and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Higher Lessons in English: A work on English grammar and composition" by Alonzo Reed et al. is an instructional grammar textbook likely written in the late 19th century. The book aims to explore the principles of English grammar and composition through a systematic approach, focusing on clear communication and effective writing strategies that are applicable in educational settings. The opening of the work presents an overview of the structure and function of language. It discusses the distinction between natural language, which includes cries and gestures, and the more sophisticated word language that we use for communication. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding sentence construction, defining essential elements like the subject and predicate, and how these components relate to expressing thoughts clearly. Additionally, the text highlights the role of language in developing critical thinking skills and lays the groundwork for the lessons to follow, which will systematically cover grammatical forms and composition techniques.
