Comic English Grammar

Comic English Grammar

by Percival Leigh

This is a basic grammar book that covers the parts of speech, syntax, versification, pronunciation, and punctuation. The author, Percival Leigh, was a bit of a snob and can be quite scathing about "vulgar speech" and American turns of phrase.
