A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present text-book attempts to combine theory with practice. It aims at putting English Grammar on a scientific basis. With this view, it has not lost sight of theO ld English in which our language is rooted, and of the various stages through which our language has passed in the process of its growth and development. We are too prone to forget that theE nglish now spoken and written has come to us in its present form, with all its flexibility and power of expression, through many stages in which idioms and terms struggled for existence; that where one expression has survived, hundreds have been destroyed ;that the present forms of words and phrases and idioms are intelligible to us only through their past history; and that it is only in a study of the nature and genius of our own language throughout the course of its growth and development that we can steer clear of foisting upon it rules and laws that are foreign to its whole spirit. Grammar is profitable in proportion as it initiates the pupil into familiar acquaintance with the rules and principles governing the construction of the language.
