Book Description

About the Book This book is structured with a gradual progression, transitioning from simpler to more intricate subjects across three parts. It commences with "Modern English Grammar" in Part I, encompassing Accidence, Analysis, Syntax, and Punctuation. Part II explores idiomatic uses of Parts of Speech, often referring to earlier language stages. Part III exclusively focuses on "Historical English: Word building and Derivation," recognizing its complexity and significance. Appendices address additional topics like Prosody and Figures of Rhetoric. The methodology aims to establish a solid foundation in Modern English before delving into historical linguistics, aligning with Matriculation course objectives.

About the Author John Collinson Nesfield (1836-1919) was an influential educator in British India and a curate at St Michael's Church, Highgate, London. He authored several books, notably on grammar, which had a significant impact. Nesfield's career included teaching at Highgate Grammar School and serving as a postmaster at Merton College, Oxford. In India, he held various roles, including Director of Public Instruction, impacting education policies. His works, such as "English Grammar: Past and Present" and "A Manual of English Grammar and Composition," were widely used both in Britain and its colonies. Nesfield also contributed to the debate on caste in British India, emphasizing societal Fluidity over rigid caste constructs.

Preface THE plan that has been followed in preparing this book is to carry the student's mind gradually forward from the more easy to the less easy, from the better known to the less known or the unknown. Accordingly, Part I. deals with "Modern English Grammar," covering the more familiar ground of Accidence, Analysis, Syntax, and Punctuation. Part II. discusses the idiomatic uses of the different Parts of Speech, explaining these, when necessary, by reference to idioms that were in force in the earlier stages of our language. Part III. deals solely with the subject of "Historical English and Derivation." On account of the greater complexity of this subject and the increasing importance ascribed to it, this Part has been made to cover about as much space as the other two Parts combined. The Appendices deal with certain outlying subjects, such as Prosody, Figures of Rhetoric, Synonyms, etc., which do not belong to Grammar proper. Amongst them there is a valuable Note on the "Names of Vocalic Sounds" by Professor Skeat, which has been printed in this book with his permission. The graduated method here described was suggested to the writer by an experience extending over many years, most of which were spent in an eastern country, where English is studied with extraordinary keenness, and every effort is made to find out the best means of teaching it. In fact, the present book is not an entirely new one, but an adaptation of a manual prepared by the saine author a few years ago in India, while he was still living there.
