Book Description
Excerpt from Philosophical Grammar of the English Language: In Connection With the Laws of Matter and of Thought, Deduced From the English Language Alone, Without Regard to the Grammatical Principles of Other Tongues The author of the following pages, deems it due to himself, to give the reasons which induced him to attempt authorship, in a department of science not inseparably connected with his vocation as a Christian minister. He was disabled, by a providential affection, from pursuing the regular duties of his calling, and found it necessary, for the support ofa helpless and dependent family, to commence instructing youth. In this employment, he had an opportunity of testing the practical results of what he conceived to be the true principles of English grammar; and found by present ing those principles directly to the mind, unencumbered by the labored classifications of the old grammars, he could im part a more perfect knowledge of grammar to his pupils, and that too, in much less time, than he could by pursuing the usual course of instruction. He also found, that the la bor of memorising was greatly abridged, by the conciseness of his classifications; and his mnemonical chart so assisted the memory, that the subject could be presented to the mind immediately, without any previous memorising.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1822 edition. Excerpt: ... me and tham are here in the Saxon dative case. Me. thinks, it seems to me, mini videtur. RULE II. A name, a nominative case or a sentence joined with a participle of the present tense, may stand in construction without a verb, forming the Case absolute, or Clause independent; as "Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place." John 5. 13. Here multitude, the name, joined with being, stands without a verb. " By memory we conceive heat or light, yellow or sweet, the object being removed." Locke 2. 10, " I have, notwithstanding this discouragement, attempted a dictionary of the English language." Johnson's Preface. " Whatever substance begins to exist, it must, during in existence, necessarily be the same." Locke 2. 27.-28. " The penalty shall be fine and imprisonment, any law or custom to the contrary notwithstanding." The latter phraseology is peculiar to the technical law style. In no other case, does notwithstanding follow the sentence. But this position makes no difference in the true construction, which is, " any law or custom to the contrary not opposing"--the real clause independent. It is very common, when this participle agrees with a number of words, or a whole clause, to omit the whole except the participle; and in this use of notwithstanding, we have a striking proof of the value of abbreviations in language. For example; " Moses said, let no man leave of it till the morning. Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto Moses." Ex. 16. 20. Here notwithstanding stands without the clause to which it belongs; to complete the sense in words, it would be necessary to repeat the whole preceding clause or the substance of it--" Moses said, let no man leave of it until the morning. Notwithstanding this command of Moses, ...

Book Description
Wittgenstein wrote this book during 1932-1934 - the period just before he began to dictate the Blue Book. In Part I he discusses the notions of "proposition," "sense," "language," "grammar"; what "saying something" is, what distinguishes signs form random marks or noises. Must we start with "primary" signs which need no explanation? In what sense have we a general concept of proposition or of language? The phrases "family of cases" and "family similarities," which the Investigations use, are here; and comparison brings out what is special in the later development. But although it is close to the Investigations at some points, and to the Philosophische Bemerkungen at others, the Philosophical Grammar is an independent work and discusses much that is not in either of them. It is Wittgenstein's fullest treatment of logic and mathematics in their connection with his later understanding of "proposition," "sign," and "system." In Part II he writes on logical inference and generality - criticizing views of Frege and Russell and earlier views of his own, developing his conception of "law of a series" and of " ... and so on"--Leading to his discussion of mathematics, which fills two fifths of the volume: the ideas of "foundations of mathematics," of cardinal numbers, of mathematical proof, and especially of inductive or recursive proofs (with reference to Skolem), which he treats to a depth and extent beyond anything he said of them elsewhere.
