The work serves as a manual for teachers and students alike, providing practical exercises in spelling, analyzing, defining, and understanding the use of words. It explores the intricacies of the English vocabulary, emphasizing the connections between English and its Latin, Greek, and Anglo-Saxon roots. At the start of the book, Swinton outlines the purpose and methodology behind the text, noting that it is a revised edition aimed at filling gaps in his earlier work. The opening introduces fundamental concepts in English etymology, such as the distinction between grammatical and historical etymology, while presenting the extensive nature of the English vocabulary. Swinton distinguishes between primitive and derivative words, describes elements forming the vocabulary, and hints at the system of prefixes and suffixes that will be elaborated upon later in the text. This sets the stage for a structured approach to studying the origins and formations of English words, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of language.
