Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION: THE History of the English Language, as distinct from that of its Literature, constitutes a separate division of the English department at the Civil Service and other Government examinations. An effort has been made in the following pages to throw into as small a space as possible all such matter as is needed to meet the requirements of that single head. Indeed the present work was actually suggested by, and has been wholly planned on, the very first question on the English language put to the candidates at the July examinations, 1858. However abstruse, however varied, or seemingly superfluous, the matter herein contained, it is but an answer, and that far from complete, to this remarkable question:— 'Give a distinct account of the constitution of the English language, in respect both of the vocabulary and of the grammar, at each of the following dates: in the tenth century, when it was still what is usually called Saxon or Anglo-Saxon by modern philologists' (see the whole of Sec. II.); 'in the twelfth' (Sec. III.); 'in the fourteenth' (Sec. V.); 'in the sixteenth and in the eighteenth' (Sec. VI.); 'noting carefully the difference between each stage of its progress, and the immediate preceding one, and assigning the cause or causes of the change.' But, while the whole book is thus occupied in dealing with this formidable query, it may have incidentally disposed of others less exacting in their nature, ex. gr. second:— 'Describe clearly and exactly the position and connection of the English language (regarded in its earliest known form, which is still its basis or mould), in what is called the Indo-European family of languages' (Sec I.); the fourth:— 'Compare the English language in its present state with any other, ancient or modern, with which you may be familiar, in general serviceableness and power as an instrument of expression' (Sec. VI., §97, 98); the fifth:— 'Illustrate by a few decisive examples the manner in which the English language adopts words from the French (Sec. V., § 72 ; VI., § 95), from the Latin (Sec. VI., § 97), and from the Greek (Sec. VI., § 99) languages respectively; and the nature of the changes, whether in the spelling, the pronunciation, or both, by which it assimilates them, and makes them its own.' But though the work has been planned and the subject matter selected with a view to meet the requirements of these examinations, its special object may not, perhaps, render it the less generally useful, having been so compiled as to form a practical introduction both to the history of English literature and to an exact knowledge of the science of English grammar. It may thus be found a valuable text-book to the more advanced pupils of our schools and colleges, without being altogether void of interest to the general reader. A knowledge of the steps by which the language has reached its present state seems needed to the right understanding of the true principles of English grammar. Changes like its for his, they for hi, loving for lovand, are intelligible only in the light of the past; and it may be truly said that if nearly all our grammars are avowedly meaningless, often positively injurious, it is because they treat the language either in conformity with a classic model or with a total disregard of its past history and Saxon origin.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the History of the English Language for the Use of Teacher and Student Since the first appearance of this work the field of English philology has been sedulously cultivated by many able writers both at home and abroad. It may be sufficient here to mention Koch's 'Historische Grammatik, ' 1869; Matzner's 'Englische Grammatik, ' 1865;Marsh's 'English Language, ' 1862;Helfenstein's 'Comparative Grammar of the Teutonic Languages, ' 1870; Dr. Abbott's 'Shakspearian Grammar, ' 1870; Dr. Morris's 'Historical Outlines, ' 1873;A. J.Ellis's great work on 'Early English Pronunciation, ' 1868-75; and the important Transactions of the Chaucer and Early English d104 Societies. These and several other recent works have been consulted in the preparation of the present edition, which thus embodies much fresh matter in further illustration of the successive steps by which the English tongue has arrived at its present state. Some may possibly affect surprise that no change has been made in the nomenclature, and that the terms Saxon and Anglo-Saxon are still retained.
