Few formal definitions are given in the body of the book, but they are developed and classified in Appendix A, as are also Laws of Form in Appendix B These, together with the Classification of Parts of Speech, in Appendix I, and the summa1y of rules for the Use of Capital Letters and for Punctuation, in Appendixes G and H, afford excellent material for reviews and for binding off the pupil's knowledge of what he has studied.
