Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Appeal From the Absurdities and Contradictions Which Prevade, and Deform the Old Theory of English Grammar, to the True Constructive Principles of the English Language, Vol. 1 The English bids fair to be a living Language through time itself. Hence no change, in the means by which its principles are developed, calculated to redound to the honour of the present, and to the good of future generations, should be discouraged by the plea of a probable want of longevity in the language itself. It is composed of materials derived from various sources; and although these sources are rich even lo philological luxuries, the English Language is strong even to that persuasion to which reason itself often becomes a sacrifice. Hence considering the tender age of the English Language, perhaps it may he said to surpass every other? As the English Language is still in its youth, it is yet in a progressive stale. In general, men have three distinct objects in their instruments, means, and institutions. And as these are not simultaneous, hut successive in their existence, every human means, system, and institution must remain a long time in a state of progression. A man's first object in building, is a house which will provide for his necessities. - His second, is a house which will provide for his convenience - and his third object is one that will not only provide for his comfort, but which will comport with his wealth and station. Now, it is with a nation as it is with an individual; and it is with languages, systems, and institutions as it is with a house. Every thing that relates to man, is matter of progression. Listen to Cowper, singing the simple stool into the splendid sofa upon the notes of progressive improvement. And, if you turn to the stove, you will find that construction designed to answer the demands of necessity, thrown aside by the hands of genius, which has provided for necessity, convenience, and taste in the same thing. And, as you turn from the stove to language, yon will find the same hand abridging in some parts, augmenting in others, and adjusting all for convenience, strength, perspicuity, despatch, and euphony. Mark, the orthography of the italic words. "Haue more then thou showest, Speak less then thou knowest, Lend less then thou owest, Ride more then thou goest, Learne more then thou trowest." - Lear, p. 288. Haue, is now have - and then is now than - and learne is now learn. "Where shall we sojourne till our coronation? "Where it thinks best unto your royall self. Sojourne, is now sojourn - royall is now royal - selfe, is now self. "Men's eyes be obedient unto the creator that they may see on think, and yet not another. - Bishop Hooper. Creatour, is now Creator - on is now one - and think is now thing. "The woman's synne was lesse greuous than Adam's synne, and lesse hurtful to mankynde."

Download or read book An Annotated Bibliography of Nineteenth century Grammars of English written by Manfred Görlach and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 19th century, education became accessible to much wider circles of society in a great number and variety of schools and the teaching of grammar came to be obligatory from 1870/72 with the advent of general education. Whereas these general trends of the 19th century are well-known to scholars working in different disciplines of social history, and the history of education in particular, it is still true that major sections of the evidence are largely uncollected. This is especially so for school books: there is virtually a gap between the 18th century and the present grammatical tradition. This bibliography lists some 1930 works on English grammar published in the 19th century, mainly in Britain and the US, half of which are accompanied by short descriptions of their physical make-up, content and affiliation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophical Grammar of the English Language: In Connection With the Laws of Matter and of Thought, Deduced From the English Language Alone, Without Regard to the Grammatical Principles of Other Tongues The author of the following pages, deems it due to himself, to give the reasons which induced him to attempt authorship, in a department of science not inseparably connected with his vocation as a Christian minister. He was disabled, by a providential affection, from pursuing the regular duties of his calling, and found it necessary, for the support Ofa helpless and dependent family, to commence instructing youth. In this employment, he had an Opportunity of testing the practical results of what he conceived to be the true principles of English grammar; and found by present ing these principles directly to the mind, unencumbered by the labored classifications of the old grammars, he could im part a more perfect knowledge of grammar to his pupils, and that too, in much less time, than he could by pursuing the usual course of instruction. He also found, that the la bor of memori'sing was greatly abridged, by the conciseness of his classifications; and his mnemonical chart so assisted the memory, that the subject could be presented to the mind immediately, without any previous memorising.
