short INTRODUCTION to ENGLISH GRAMMAR, with
CRITICAL NOTES, by the Right Reverend ROBERT
LOWTH, D. D. Lord Biihop of Oxford.
To the P ÜBL I C.
A grammatical study of our own language makes no part of*
the ordinary method of inftru&ion ; and it is very leldom that we
apply ourselves to it afterwards. Yet the want of it will not
be effectually {applied by any other advantage whatloever..
Much practice in the polite world, and a general acquain
tance with the best authors, are good helps, but alone will
hardly be fufficient. We have writers who have enjoyed these
advantages in their full extent, and yet cannot be recom
mended as models of an accurate style.
It will evidently appear from Dr. Lowth's notes, in his ex
cellent English Grammar, that our best authors have com
mitted gross mistakes for want of a due knowledge of the
English Grammar, or at lead of a proper attention to the
rules of it. These notes are fufficient to evince the necef-'
fity of the study of grammar in our own language; and to
admo'nifh those who set up for authors, that they would do
well to coniider this part of learning as ah object not altoge
ther beneath their regard.
