About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from A Grammar of Late Modern English, Vol. 2 The second part of this Grammar dealing with the Parts of Speech in detail, falls into two sections, the first treating of uns, prouns and adminal words, the second of verbs and particles. Owing to its irdinate bulk, the first section could t conveniently be brought out in one volume and has, therefore, been cut up into two portions of about equal size. In preparing this part of my work, i have, in the main, proceeded on the same principles as those which guided me in the preparation of its predecessor. The only difference of any importance between this and the earlier part of my work is, that I have w been at greater pains to arrange my quotations chrologically. I have t, indeed, concerned myself much about mir details of chrology, as, for example, the order in which the vels of Dickens or Thackeray successively appeared; or the question whether Vanity Fair preceded or followed David Copperfield; but the great landmarks in the history of English Literature have been constantly kept in view. A few additional remarks may t be out of place. The quotations used to support my statements, have, of course, been taken unaltered from the sources where i found them, but glaring inconsistencies in the use of capitals, hyphens, stops and similar typographical niceties have been removed. The quotations from Shakespeare and the Authorized Version have been produced in modernized spelling, which will, perhaps, be considered improper in a work like the present. The editions used are respectively the well-kwn Globe Edition edited by William G. Clark and William Aldis Wright and The Oxford Bible for Teachers. In discussing such an elusive subject as the Syntax of Modern English Grammar, one is confronted by a formidable array of difficulties. It is often said, on what grounds I kw t, that English is t bound by any strict rules of syntax. But anybody who has ever given the subject continued thought, must soon have become persuaded, that this is t in accordance with fact. The least change of comparatively insignificant words, the least tampering with the order of words in a sentence or phrase, and the slightest modification of stress and pitch, almost invariably produce changes of meaning which the most obtuse observer could t fail to tice at once. The prevailing freedom never degenerates into licence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
