The commic english grammar

Our native country having been, from time immemorial, entitled Merry England, it is clear that, provided it has been called by a right name, a
Comic Grammar will afford the most hopeful means of teaching its inhabitants their language. That the epithet in question has been correctly applied, it will therefore be our business to show.
If we can only prove that things which foreigners regard in the most serious point of view, and which, perhaps, ought in reality to be so considered,
afford the modern Minotaur John Bull, merely matter of amusement, we shall go far towards the establishment of our position. We hope to do this
and more also.
