Morris. HISTORICAL OUTLINES OF ENGLISH ACCI- 

 DENCE, comprising Chapters on the History and Development 

 of the Language, and on Word-formation. By the Rev. RICHARD 

 MORRIS, LL.D., Member of the Council of the Philol. Soc., 

 Lecturer on English Language and Literature in King's College 

 School, Editor of "Specimens of Early English," etc., etc. 

 Fcap. 8vo. 6s. 



Dr. Morris has endeavoured to ^urite a work which can be profitably 

 tised by students and by the upper forms in oiir public schools. His 

 almost unequalled knowledge of early English Literature renders 

 him peculiarly qualified to write a vvork of this kind ; and English 

 Grammar, he believes, without a reference to 'the older forms, must 

 appear altogether anomalous, inconsistent, and unintelligible. In 

 the writing of this volume, moreover, he has taken advantage of the 

 researches into our language made by all the most eminent scholars 

 in England, America, and on the Continent. The author shcnvs 

 the place of English among the languages of the world, expounds 

 clearly and with great minuteness " Grim nils Law" gives a brief 

 history of the English language and an account of the various 

 dialects, investigates the history and principles of Phonology, 

 Orthography, Accent, and Etymology, and devotes several chapters 

 to the consideration of the various Parts of Speech, and the final 

 one to Derivation and Word-formation.
