Synopsis
A Practical Grammar Of The English Language by Thomas Weedon offers a practical, non-philosophical approach to English grammar, emphasizing the usage of words over their historical origins. The book is organized into sections covering orthography, etymology, syntax, and prosody, with detailed discussions on the eight parts of speech: articles, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, and conjunctions. It highlights the distinction between the form and function of language—illustrating how letters represent sounds, how words convey ideas, and how phrases are structured to express thoughts clearly. Rich in definitions and examples, the text serves as a guide for both educated readers and those familiar with different grammatical teachings, promoting mastery through thoughtful language use rather than mere memorization of rules. The editor provides illustrative specimens and practical notes on punctuation, capitalization, and elision, all aligned with the author’s goal of teaching the correct use of English. Originally published in London in 1848 by H. & Collins, this edition is a 2019 reprint.
