Excerpt from A Parsing and Drill Book in the Elements of the English Language This work is meant for a drill book in elements. It is designed to help forward such a study of the English language as will enable one to read at least modern English authors with enjoyment, and to express clearly his own thoughts. The aim in it particularly is to lead to a study of words in respect to their forms, formation, and meaning; and of sentences as representatives of thought. Questions, directions, and references, have been subjoined to a part of the text at the beginning of the book, to indicate modes of handling words and sentences. Very few of the questions and directions lead to exercises usually called grammatical, as it is supposed that such will be sufficiently suggested by a proper study of the grammar. The method of word analysis, inserted and illustrated, has been for some time in actual use, with good results. The "Roots of English Words" at the end of the book is a third edition, revised, enlarged and improved. The first editions, constantly used in classes for several years, have been found to do good service. This list of "Roots" has been drawn almost exclusively from the selections contained in the book, the intention being to include nearly every root to be found in the words of the text, with its various forms, its most common prefixes, and its meaning. Though not prepared as a general collection of the root forms of our language, it will be found to contain a very large proportion of such as are oftenest met with in reading.

Jacob de Gheyn's 'Exercise of Armes' was an immense success when first published in 1607. It is a fascinating seventeenth-century military manual, designed to instruct contemporary soldiers how to handle arms effectively, and correctly, and it makes for a unique glimpse into warfare as waged in the Thirty Years War and the English Civil War. The manual uses illustrations to clearly demonstrate drills for soldiers employing calivers and muskets. It shows how to load and fire, or merely carry, a matchlock piece. In addition detailed illustrations show the various movements and postures to be adopted during use of the pike. There are 117 illustrations contained in this book and all are fine examples of seventeenth-century art. Each image is detailed and evocative and students of military history and military costume are sure to find them of immense interest. Jacob de Gheyn's manual is an important insight into how the armies of Europe operated in the field in the seventeenth century, but it is also an attractive book of considerable charm and character.
