Professor Meiklejohn's Grammar and History of the English Language: 2012

This book was originally written in 1886 for new teachers of the English Language and formed the basis of their own lessons in classrooms around the world. (Visit www.jmdmrevision.com for details) It tells the story of how the language of an isolated region of Europe was transferred to The British Isles, where it evolved over the past 1000 years to become the world's premier method of communication, cultural voice and vehicle of trade.

The modern edition (2012) is a revision of the original text and has been presented in such a way as to allow English Language teachers and senior English Language students everywhere to study English either independently or in classes or small groups. Both The textbook version and the online edition contain detailed lessons on English grammar with exercises and corrections as well as lessons on punctuation, sentence and paragraph construction. The book also includes types of English prose and poetry dating from English and Latin history. It also shows the structure of a modern, well-composed essay with examples for careful study and review.

At a time when English Language classroom instruction is in reduced supply world-wide., Professor Meiklejohn's Grammar and History of the English Language has a useful role to play in making individual instruction easier for senior students in a self-guided or classroom model.
