Excerpt from An Introduction to English Grammar, on an Analytical Plan: Adapted to the Use of Students in Colleges and the Higher Classes in Schools and Academies Lowth is in some degree liable to the same objections, as must necessarily be the case, since a great portion of his work is copied literally into that of Murray; yet inits original shape may be seen greater distinctness of general principles and philosophical investigation. Both works have however done good service to the language, in bringing order into and establishing it in its usage; and to them may be attributed much of the settled form it now wears in general acceptation. Yet they seem to have this great defect, - they are too syn thetical; they seem too much to treat of the use of language, as if it were derived from the principles of grammar and in pursuance of its forms, instead of treat ing of grammar as derived from the use of language, and merely embodying and arranging the forms and principles established by custom in the common employ ment of it. Hence these systems have too artificial a character, one too independent of the realities of the case, and too unconnected with them; so that they are studied without their real relation to language being properly perceived and, aided as this imperfection of the plan is by the defects above pointed out, it hence results, that much time is often wasted in the study of grammar without leading to a proper understanding of the language. When grammar, without more explanation, is defined to be the art of reading and writing a language with propriety, it is hardly to be wondered at, that it should be considered as something not essentially inherent in the use of the language and derived from it, but as something artificial fastened upon it, to guide and\ di rect it.
