Vabbè che è gratuito, ma una grammatica in eBook non navigabile, senza indice o tabella dei contenuti né suddivisione dei capitoli è praticamente illeggibile...

Walls of text
29 novembre 2012

Formato:Formato Kindle
I picked this up thinking that it would either be a style guide ("who" vs "whom") or an analysis guide (how to parse noun phrases), but it appears to be neither.
I stared at walls and walls of text that reminded me of nothing other than Ben Stein's coma-inducing satire of a dreadfully boring teacher in Ferris Bueller. Pages and pages of text that pontificate endlessly before getting into any kind of detail. Like a woodpecker drilling into a tree to reach a succulent treat, I found myself banging my head but at the end, there was such reward. This was apparently written during a time when everyone understood Latin, because there are wonderfully untranslated Latin quotes sprinkled liberally throughout the text, offering no clue as to why they've been included. Semper ubi sub ubi!
Whether this is meant to be a dissertation of prescriptive or descriptive grammar, written in 1851, it predates most modern disciplines. While it is often useful to read ancient books to gain an understanding of the present, sometimes it's just as best to let some books fade into obscurity.

Amazing book - but not for everyone

One needs to do some reserach before trying to read this book. It is an amazing achievement of the author who summed up grammatical knowledge of his time in one volume (nearly 3,000 pages long). It takes a lot of time and dedication to do something like that even today, and Goold Brown did it in 1851! So if you are looking for a grammar book to help you with your English, you will be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a great masterpiece illustrating an outstanding achievement, you will enjoy reading this book. Obviously, it cannot be used as a grammar manual today, but don't we still admire Samuel Johnson' dictionary (1755), though no one would use it today as a guide to proper usage?

Not what I expected

This is not what I wanted or expected. Rather than being a useful resource to improve one's use of English grammar, this is more in line with what one would expect in a doctoral dissertation of the concept of English grammar. As a tool, a resource to quickly find answers to specific questions, this book a waste.
