Présentation de l'éditeur
The things which have been deliberately left out of this small volume would have made a big book. When we reflect that of every hundred boys and girls now learning English Grammar probably not more than one will ever read a page of any English author who wrote before the age of Elizabeth, it seems needlessly cruel to the remaining ninety-and-nine to inflict upon them the exhaustive study of historical English accidence. The average pupil, for whom theE nglish Grammar lesson means mastering lists of strong verbs in half-a-dozen conjugations, or learning that the comparative of near has assumed such diverse forms as nyra nearra, nerre, nere nerrer or that the word which has at different times been written hwilc, ivhulc, whulch, wuch, wich, and whilk, deserves our sympathy when he complains that English Grammar is rather dull. Tell him that English Grammar without a reference to the older forms must appear altogether anomalous, inconsistent, and unintelligible, and he will say that, if it is necessary to encounter grim battalions of these older forms on every page, the subject had better be left severely alone, since it is hardly worth while going through so much to get so little. Dull, no doubt, some parts of English Grammar, and of any other grammar, inevitably are, but the subject as a whole is far from being so dull as teachers and treatises frequently succeed in making it.
