This book was originally written in 1886 for new teachers of the English Language and formed the basis of their own lessons in classrooms around the world. (Visit www.jmdmrevision.com for details) It tells the story of how the language of an isolated region of Europe was transferred to The British Isles, where it evolved over the past 1000 years to become the world's premier method of communication, cultural voice and vehicle of trade.

The modern edition (2012) is a revision of the original text and has been presented in such a way as to allow English Language teachers and senior English Language students everywhere to study English either independently or in classes or small groups. Both The textbook version and the online edition contain detailed lessons on English grammar with exercises and corrections as well as lessons on punctuation, sentence and paragraph construction. The book also includes types of English prose and poetry dating from English and Latin history. It also shows the structure of a modern, well-composed essay with examples for careful study and review.

At a time when English Language classroom instruction is in reduced supply world-wide., Professor Meiklejohn's Grammar and History of the English Language has a useful role to play in making individual instruction easier for senior students in a self-guided or classroom model.

In 1854 at the age of twenty-four, John Miller Dow Meiklejohn translated Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" into English and it would remain the standard translation for many years. However, it was in another area of Victorian writing that Meiklejohn's name would become celebrated. He wrote and published the most comprehensive set of schoolbooks, lesson materials and instructional texts for schoolmasters yet seen in an English-speaking classroom. Foremost and longest lasting among those books was "The English Language: its Grammar, History and Literature" (1886), which reached over thirty editions in Britain, the U.S.A. and the British Commonwealth. This revised edition marks the 125th anniversary of its first publication by Blackwood and Sons in London. The book was intended to provide novice teachers with a more complete understanding of the English Language. From this book they could then create their own lessons for their own students. Modern teachers of English worldwide have a similar requirement and it is the aim of this modern edition of the book to help them obtain it.
