The history of the English language
Book information
Description
Publisher: MACMILLAN AND CO., New YorkDate: 1894This book is designed for college classes and for teachers of English. The purpose was to make a handbook which should be neither too elaborate for college use nor too elementary for the scholar. For this reason a greater no doubt wish to supplement the book with additional lectures, and with more detailed explanation of many points. On the other hand some may prefer to use only the historical portions, with the chapters on the vocabulary and on inflections. It is hoped the book may be useful to both classes, serving as a basis for study, and stimulating if possible to more extended investigation of the philology of the English tongue.
