ENGLISH G RAMMAR #
With CRITICAL NOTES.
By the Right Reverend Robert Lowth, D. D.
Lord Biihop 01 Oxford.
To the P ÜBLI C.
A Grammatical ftudv of our own language makes
no part of the ordinary method ofinftru&iun ;
and it is very seldom that we apply ourselves to it
afterward. Yet the want of it will not be effi Du
ally supplied by any other advantage v haefoever;
Much prc&ice in the polite world, and a general
acquaintance with the 1 est authors, are good helps ;
but alone will hardly be fuficient : we bare writers;
who have enjofed these advantages in their f.ll ex
tent, and yet cannot be reComin:nded as models of
an accurate style.
It will evidently appear from Dr. Lowth's note%
in his excellent Ehglifh Grammar, that our nett
authors have committed gross mistakes for wrntof
a due knowledge of the EnglifhGrammar, dr at
lead of a p.ope" attention to the rules of it. These
notes are {efficient to evince the neceffiry of the
Uudy of Grammar in our own language; and tut
admonish dode, who let up for authors, that they
would do well to confidcr this put of teaming as art
objed not altogether beneath their regard.
