Excerpt from Formal English Grammar as a Discipline But in all these centuries, however much had been taken out of the content of grammar, there was a real need for the essentials of the subject as a means of acquiring the universal language of scholarship. Even in the seventeenth century Comenius wrote,2 I presume that no one can raise any objection to my placing [latin] grammar first, since it is the key of all knowledge. There was a disposition, however, to doubt even that fact. Locke3 somewhat later declared, I would fain have anyone name to me that Tongue, that anyone can learn, or speak as he should do, by the rules of Grammar. Languages were made not by Rules or Art, but by Accident, and the Common Use of the People. And whether Locke was right or not, the chief reason for the study of Latin grammar by English people passed when the language of scholarship became the vernacular.
