He started a Catholic school and needed textbooks, so started working on making them.  He found Murray's full Grammar too \"prolix\" or long-winded and some of the existing abridgements too concise, so he made a new abridgement which combined the Grammar and Exercises into one slim volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you ever wondered about Iambs,  Trochees and Liquescent Consonants, this is the book for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Joseph Kerney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44928758874273,"sku":"9781111125844","price":31.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/18kgg26m-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747540106","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/an-abridgement-of-murrays-grammar","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
