Synopsis

Excerpt from Historical Outlines of English Syntax

I gratefully acknowledge my obligations to several eminent English scholars for repeated advice and valuable suggestions. Of these, Dr. F urnivall has the greatest claim on my gratitude. It was he who suggested to me the idea of working into their present English shape the materials which he knew I had been collecting for years, and it is through his help and untiring kindness that I have been able to overcome the many difficulties which naturally stood in my way. The quotations in my book will show what it owes to the Early English Text Society, a Society which has at last made possible a real study of the history of English, a Society which has earned the right to ten times the support it gets from English-speaking folk.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present volume is intended to accompany the Historical Outlines of English Accidence by Dr. Morris. But for this, I should have preferred to call it Lessons in English Syntax implying thereby that I do not pretend to (or aim at) completeness of detail, but have rather contented myself with giving principles of English Syntax, and with picking out from among the infinity of syntactical facts, those that seemed most interesting and worthy of note. I selected first those idioms which struck me as out of the common in old and modem texts, and from these I chose such as seemed noteworthy from the standpoints of psychology, historical development, and comparative grammar. I did not think it advisable to swell the book by giving detailed accounts of every preposition and conjunction ;both these parts of speech are fully dealt with in theD ictionaries, and in the well-known works of Matzner, Koch, Dr. A bbott, Einenkel, and Mr. T. L. Kington Oliphant.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
