'Remarks On the English Language,' originally published in 1770, offers a fascinating glimpse into 18th-century perspectives on proper English usage. In the spirit of Vaugelas’s influential work on the French language, Robert Baker meticulously examines and critiques common expressions and usages prevalent in both spoken conversation and published works of the time. This volume serves as a detailed detection of perceived improprieties and stylistic flaws, providing valuable insights into the evolving nature of language and the contemporary standards of linguistic correctness. Baker’s observations provide a rich resource for understanding historical attitudes towards grammar, vocabulary, and effective communication. This edition allows modern readers to explore the nuances of English as it was understood and debated centuries ago, offering a unique lens through which to view the ongoing evolution of the language.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
