Lectures on Language, as Particularly Connected with English Grammar. by Balch
"Lectures on Language, as Particularly Connected with English Grammar" by W.M. Balch is an educational treatise written in the early 19th century. The work aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the principles of language and grammar, especially focusing on the English language. It serves as a guide for teachers and advanced learners, presenting a philosophical approach to understanding language's role in communication and education. The opening of the book sets a
foundational tone, emphasizing the profound importance of language in human affairs and education. Balch critiques traditional teaching methods that render grammar tedious and confusing. He argues for a new understanding of language grounded in clear principles that reflect both the nature of thought and valid communication methods. This initial discussion establishes a clear invitation for readers to explore new ideas about language while encouraging open-mindedness regarding the existing systems of grammatical instruction.
