Grammar-land
by M. L. Nesbitt Author
A singularly ingenious, witty, and amusing attempt to teach some of the elements of grammar by allegory and pictorial illustration. A wonderful introduction to the parts of speech for young and old. Old Judge Grammar is represented in this story as calling together his viceroys, the nine parts of speech, for the purpose of settling sundry quarrels which have arisen with regard to the ownership of certain words. They appear in turn, each characterized in the drollest and most expressive manner.
