"English Grammar in Familiar Lectures"


_The order of parsing an_ INTERJECTION, is--an interjection, and
why?
"O virtue! how amiable thou art!"
_O_ is an interjection, a word used to express some passion or emotion
of the speaker.
The ten parts of speech have now been unfolded and elucidated, although
some of them have not been fully explained. Before you proceed any
farther, you will please to begin again at the first lecture, and read
over, attentively, the whole, observing to parse every example in the
exercises systematically. You will then be able to parse the following
exercises, which contain all the parts of speech. If you study
faithfully _six_ hours in a day, and pursue the directions given, you
may become, if not a critical, at least, a good, practical grammarian,
in _six weeks_; but if you study only _three_ hours in a day, it will
take you nearly _three months_ to acquire the same knowledge.
EXERCISES IN PARSING.
True cheerfulness makes a man happy in himself, and promotes the
happiness of all around him.
Modesty always appears graceful in youth: it doubles the lustre of every
virtue which it seems to hide.
