About this book
For students at universities and the higher classes of schools, R. G. Latham wrote this account of how English came to be what it is. He had been professor of the English language and literature at University College, London, and was also a physician.
Part one places English among the Germanic languages and sets out its Celtic, Latin and Norman French connections. Part two traces its sources and stages, from Semi-Saxon to Old English. Part three deals with articulate sounds, letters, pronunciation and spelling. The numbered sections are listed in full in the contents. This edition is from New York, 1864.
