"What, another Grammar of the English Language!" So opens Webster's Preface to this short introduction to his own take on the grammar of the American English language. The author, however, argues in favor of his work, stating that "A Grammar, to deserve the title, must contain a true explanation of the several species of words, a correct classification of them, and a development of the real principles of combination in the structure of sentences. If such a work has hitherto appeared, it has not come to my knowledge" (p. [3]).
