(FoR some years the want has been felt of a short historic...)
FoR some years the want has been felt of a short historical English grammar up to date, especially as regards phonology, dialectology and chronology, the last implying careful discrimination between what is really in living use and what is obsolete. The present work is an attempt to supply this want. It is an abridgment of the historical portions of my New English Grammar, It does not include syntax, for the good reason that a grammar which attempted to deal even if only superficially with such a vast and difficult subject as historical English syntax could not possibly be designated as a short grammar. But within the limits of phonology and accidence, including composition and derivation, it will, I hope, be found to contain all that is really essential to the beginner. Some teachers will be disappointed at not finding here any exposition of that time-honoured generalization Grimm sL aw, and the still more popular Verner sL aw. I have for the present excluded them, because they do not belong to. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

(This work is intended to supply the want of a scientific ...)
This work is intended to supply the want of a scientific English grammar, founded on an independent critical survey of the latest results of linguistic investigation as far as they bear, directly or indirectly, on theE nglish language. Although historical, this grammar is not one-sidedly historical: it is at the same time a logical grammar. It will be seen that I have taken considerable trouble to define accurately not only the parts of speech, but also the primary grammatical categories word, inflection, sentence, etc.. which have hitherto been often neglected, and sometimes ignored, by grammarians. Even in the more beaten tracks I have found many obstacles and difficulties which it has cost me years of hard thought to conquer often only partially. Practical teachers, who generally confine themselves to one book and one method, are often hardly able to realize how unsettled grammar still is.
