"The Etymology and Syntax of the English Language Explained and Illustrated" by the Rev. Alex. Crombie is a scholarly treatise on the principles of English grammar and linguistics, written in the mid-19th century. The work aims to elucidate the etymology and syntactical structures of the English language, addressing elements like phonetics, word formation, and grammatical categories. The author seeks to enhance the understanding of English among those who have already engaged in classical literature study. The opening of the work includes a transcription note and the author's preface, which elaborates on the necessity for a deeper examination of the English language, emphasizing the imperfections in existing grammatical studies. Crombie expresses a commitment to provide original insights into the language's structure and usage, specifically for readers familiar with Greek and Latin, thereby linking a comprehensive understanding of English grammar to classical education. The introductory sections discuss the nature of language and its articulation, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of etymology and syntax that follows in the subsequent chapters.
