A Rational Grammar

"A Rational Grammar" by Jenkin Thomas Philipps, originally published in 1731, offers a fascinating glimpse into the methods of Latin instruction during the early 18th century. This work provides a comprehensive set of rules in English designed to facilitate the learning of Latin, drawing comparisons with esteemed authors across various languages. Philipps' approach emphasizes a 'rational' understanding of grammar, aiming to make the complexities of Latin accessible to students of the period.

This edition allows modern readers to explore the historical context of language learning and the evolution of grammatical thought. It provides a valuable resource for linguists, historians of education, and anyone interested in the classical roots of linguistic study. Philipps' dedication to clarity and comparative analysis makes this a compelling text for understanding the pedagogical approaches of its time.
