Sweet provides a detailed grammar, notes, and a glossary to help readers understand the linguistic structure and vocabulary of Middle English.

Henry Sweet (1845–1912) was an influential English philologist, phonetician, and grammarian, known for his pioneering work in Old English and phonetics. Educated at Oxford, Sweet focused on private studies, making significant contributions to Anglo-Saxon dialectology and Old English texts. He published key works like A Handbook of Phonetics (1877) and A Primer of Spoken English (1890), which included early descriptions of received pronunciation. A key figure in language teaching, Sweet also created Current Shorthand. Despite his scholarly achievements, he never received a university professorship. Sweet died in 1912, leaving a legacy in linguistics and phonetics.
