THE END OF THE INDEX,

AND OF THE GRAMMAR OF ENGLISH GRAMMARS

FOOTNOTES:

[1] Ben Jonson's notion of grammar, and of its parts, was as follows: ”Grae: the writing is but an accident

The Parts of Gray which is / the true notation of words, Syntaxe / the right ordering of the is known or called; and consisteth of one or more letters A letter is an indivisible part of a syllable, whose prosody, or right sounding, is perceived by the power; the orthography, or right writing, by the forrah the whole”--_Jonson's Graerly seized upon a part of this absurdity, to prove that Dr Lowth, from whom Murray derived the idea, was utterly unprepared for what he undertook in the character of a grammarian: ”Dr Lohen he undertook to write his _Introduction_, with the best intention in the world, raes The grae, _applies_ those coe' And yet, with _this clear truth_ before his eyes, he boldly proceeds to give a _particular_ grale principle of universal grammar”--_Diversions of Purley_, Vol 1, p 224

If Dr Lowth discredited his better judgerammar, perhaps Murray, and his weaker copyists, have little honoured theirs, in supposing they were adequate to such a work But I do not adins rammar in the manner above cited The authors who have started with this fundaely numerous It is found in some of the most dissimilar systems that can be named Even Oliver B Peirce, who has a rammar than Tooke had of Lowth's, adopts this false notion with all ie ot it See his _Gram_, p 16 De Suey, in his Principles of General Grareeain: ”None of these rules properly belong to General Grareement and Government, a course peculiar to itself”--_Ibid_, p 109” ”It is with Construction [ie, Arrangeeneral rule co to these positions, which I do not admit to be strictly true, General or Universal Grammar has no principles of _Syntax_ at all, whatever else it may have which Particular Grammar can assu, because ”_to be contee has left us his opinion and determination in this , not what ht happen to be the faulty caprice of the reeood judge” here spoken of, is Quintilian; whose words on the point are these: ”Necessarium est judicium, constituendumque imprimis, id ipsum quid sit, quod _consuetudinem_ vocemusIn loquendo, non, si quid vitiose ula sero consuetudinem sermonis, vocabo _consensum eruditorum_ sicut vivendi, consenum honorum”--_De Inst Orat_, Lib i Cap 6, p 57

[5] ”The opinion of plenty is areat quantity of books e, nevertheless, is not to be reood books, which, as the serpent of Moses, ht devour the serpents of the enchanters”--_Bacon_ In point of style, his lordshi+p is here deficient; and he has also ure which he uses

But the idea is a good one

[6] Not, ”_Oldharaphical Dictionary has it; for _Oldham_ is in _Lancashi+re_, and the name of Lily's birthplace has sometiraland; but what one is ard is still paid to the ancient edict or not, I cannot say Dr Ada of Lily, says: ”His Grammar was appointed, by an act _which is still in force_, to be taught in the established schools of England” I have soained the iarded--_G Brown_

[8] For this there is an obvious reason, or apology, in what his biographer states, as ”the huo to confire This famous co teachers_, who had charge of a _shbourhood of the author's residence: and nothing could have been more unexpected to their friend and instructor, than that he, in consequence of this service, should become known the world over, as _Murray the Gra to the publicaton, he had no expectation that it would be read, except by the school for which it was designed, and two or three other schools conducted by persons ere also his friends”--_Life of L Murray_, p 250

[9] Grammatici namque auctoritas per se nulla est; quom ex sola doctissimorum oraturum, historicorum, poetarum, et aliorum ideonoruraraloria praeterire asellos”--DESPAUTERII _Praef Art Versif_, fol iii, 1517
