Excerpt from Summary of English Grammar: Compiled for the Use of the Notting Hill High School

1. Grammar (Greek, gramma, letter) is the science treating of language. Language, the modern equivalent for the older term Speech, is the expression of thought in words. That portion of the science of grammar which deals with the speech of the English people is called English Grammar.

2. Words are significant combinations of sounds. The marks or symbols by which these sounds are made apparent to the eye are called letters (Latin, littera).

3. The Alphabet (from alpha, beta, the names of the first two letters of the Greek alphabet) is the whole collection of letters.

4. Orthoëpy (Greek, orthos, right; epos, spoken word) deals with the correct way of pronouncing words.

5. Orthography (Greek, orthos, right; grapho, I write) treats of the correct way of representing in letters the sounds which make up a word.

6. A Sentence (Latin, sententia, thought) is the expression of a complete thought by means of words. Words differ in kind according to the purpose they serve in a sentence.
