Author Description

Excerpt from The English Grammar In teaching the History of the English Language, I have looked in vain for a more available copy of Ben Jonson's English Grammar than that found in his collected works. A production so peculiarly distinct from The Hue and Cry after Cupid, or the Pindaric Ode, seems to call for a volume to itself. And the student of the history of English certainly needs it, as the grammar of the best standing for the seventeenth century.
