Excerpt from English Grammar: Including the Principles of Grammatical Analysis IT is hardly necessary to repeat here the acknowledgments which I have already made in previous editions of the 'extent' to which my English Grammar in its present form is' indebted to the splendid works of Matzner and Koch, the latter of whom has traced the development of English with such care and fulness that later systematic grammars contain little of consequence on this subject beyond what is already to be. Found in his pages. I have made special reference to his work from time to time by way of reminding the reader of the source of the information given. The few instances in which I have been beholden to Dr. Morris's Historical Outlines of English Accidence for materials not already contained in Koch's' grammar have been scrupulously noticed.
