An English Grammar

"An English Grammar" by William Malone Baskervill is a late 19th-century educational textbook for high school, academy, and college students that makes understanding English grammar easy with a clear and real-world structure. It aims to make the complexities of language understandable to young learners while keeping the information serious and scholarly. The book begins with a preface that explains the authors' goal to connect academic knowledge with how we actually use language, and they point out that many grammar books are too hard for students, so their goal is to present the ideas in a simple way. Contact with quality writing enhances the student's grasp of language usage, including nouns, pronouns, and sentence syntax, which are structured in systematic parts throughout the text. The textbook is trying to show how grammar changes over time and encourages students to be adaptable in how they learn the topic.
