The English grammar, setting forth the grounds of the English tongue; and particularly its genius in making compounds and derivatives, with many other useful and curious observations. Wherein are also explained the usual abbreviations, the several hands used in writing, and characters in printing, the variety of styles, the art of true pointing, and the way to understand books. With a prefatory discourse about the original, and excellency of the English tongue; and at the end, an alphabetick collection of the monosyllables, being a treasure of orthography for writers, and of Rhimes for poets. A necessary work in general for all persons desirous to understand the grounds and genius of the English, and very proper to prepare young men for the Latine tongue. By Guy Miege, Gent.
