The Story of English Speech: A Sketch of the Origin and Development of the English Language, with Tables Showing Some of the More Important Grammatical Forms of the Three Great Periods, and Specimens of the Literature from Caedmon to Shakespeare


Overview

This is a masterly and at the same time compact history of how the English language came to be, and the process of linguistic evolution by which it has become what it is today. The first twelve chapters treat of the three periods of Old English, Middle English, and Modern English. This forms Part I. Part II deals with Grammatical Forms. Part III gives specimens, of Old and Middle English, such as Caedmon's Hymn, The Onnulum, and The Owl and Nightingale. It is a painstaking work on a most interesting bit of linguistic study. - The Journal of Education, Volumes 81
