This textbook may, possibly, be useful in the college classroom, it is more likely to be useful to instructors who desire some simple manual of English on which to condition candidates for admission to college. It is hoped, however, that it will not be found ill adapted to general use in academies and high schools -- and wherever, in fact, a review of English Grammar from a Logical and Historical stand-point is desired. The book is, as its name indicates, a mere "outline" -- designed to be amplified and extended by oral instruction.
