THE KEY.--PART II.--ETYMOLOGY.

CHAPTER I.--PARTS OF SPEECH.

The first chapter of Etymology, as it exhibits only the distribution of
words into the ten Parts of Speech, contains no false grammar for
correction. And it may be here observed, that as mistakes concerning the
forms, classes, or modifications of words, are chiefly to be found in
_sentences_, rather than in any separate exhibition of the terms; the
quotations of this kind, with which I have illustrated the principles of
etymology, are many of them such as might perhaps with more propriety be
denominated _false syntax_. But, having examples enough at hand to show the
ignorance and carelessness of authors in every part of grammar, I have
thought it most advisable, so to distribute them as to leave no part
destitute of this most impressive kind of illustration. The examples
exhibited as _false etymology_, are as distinct from those which are called
_false syntax_, as the nature of the case will admit.
