This book is structured with a gradual progression, transitioning from simpler to more intricate subjects across three parts. It commences with "Modern English Grammar" in Part I, encompassing Accidence, Analysis, Syntax, and Punctuation. Part II explores idiomatic uses of Parts of Speech, often referring to earlier language stages. Part III exclusively focuses on "Historical English: Word building and Derivation," recognizing its complexity and significance. Appendices address additional topics like Prosody and Figures of Rhetoric. The methodology aims to establish a solid foundation in Modern English before delving into historical linguistics, aligning with Matriculation course objectives.

John Collinson Nesfield (1836–1919) was an influential educator in British India and a curate at St Michael's Church, Highgate, London. He authored several books, notably on grammar, which had a significant impact. Nesfield's career included teaching at Highgate Grammar School and serving as a postmaster at Merton College, Oxford. In India, he held various roles, including Director of Public Instruction, impacting education policies. His works, such as "English Grammar: Past and Present" and "A Manual of English Grammar and Composition," were widely used both in Britain and its colonies. Nesfield also contributed to the debate on caste in British India, emphasizing societal fluidity over rigid caste constructs.
