The History Of The English Language From The Teutonic Invasion Of Britain To The Close Of The Georgian Era - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
This work is a History of the English Language, not a history of English Literature. I ts design is to trace the growth and formation of our tongue, the influences that have affected its development, or have impressed upon it certain characteristics. All purely literary criticism is therefore irrelevant, except so far as it may tend to illustrate the peculiarities of the language, or to explain its apparent anomalies and its complexities. The book contains the substance of tlie Lectures delivered to the advanced classes in English in the Baltimore City College during the past three years, and is intended for the purposes of instruction in Colleges, High Schools, and A cademies, as well as to meet the wants of general readers. The necessity for some work similar in design to the present must be obvious to all teachers of the English ,language in the United States. The want of suitable text-books constitutes one of the most serious obstacles with which the magnificent and rapidly expanding science of English Philology has to contend upon this side of the A tlantic.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
