| Summary | "A Short System of English Grammar" by Henry Bate is an instructional guide on English grammar written in the 18th century. This educational publication is designed for use in a boarding school setting, aiming to clarify the rules and structure of the English language. The book provides a systematic approach to grammar, emphasizing practicality and accessibility, diverging from traditional Latin-based grammar teachings. In this book, Bate organizes grammar into clear divisions: orthography, prosody, analogy, and syntax. He explains the components of speech, detailing their functions and relationships in the formation of sentences. Bate discusses various parts of speech including nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections, providing definitions and examples for each. He critiques the complexity of existing grammar methodologies by advocating for a simpler, more intuitive understanding of English, thus making the discipline of grammar more approachable for learners.
