Excerpt from The Teaching of English Grammar History and Method
The lecture upon the History of English Grammar Teaching contains subject-matter of historical interest not easily accessible to the ordinary student, and for much of the purely historical information I am indebted to the courtesy of Professor Hempl of Michigan Uni versity, who kindly loaned me a series of old grammars running back some two hundred years or more.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of teaching English grammar, revealing how methods have evolved over centuries. The author meticulously traces the evolution of grammar instruction, from its early reliance on Latin grammar principles to the emergence of more modern approaches that emphasize sentence analysis and composition. Through a detailed examination of textbooks and pedagogical trends, the book sheds light on the shortcomings of earlier methods that relied heavily on rote memorization and the correction of false syntax. The book further explores the impact of historical and comparative linguistics on the understanding of English grammar, highlighting how a deeper knowledge of the language's origins and development is essential for effective teaching.
