About this book
Samuel Johnson's English grammar stands at the front of his Dictionary, here in an 1812 edition abridged from the folio by the author, together with his preface to the folio. He divides grammar into four parts, Orthography, Etymology, Syntax and Prosody, and says he follows the common grammarians. The opening pages deal with letters: the twenty-six of the alphabet, their names, and the five vowels. Johnson treats English only as English, and leaves aside the history of letter forms and the working of the organs of speech.
