Balch is an educational treatise written in the early 19th century. The work aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the principles of language and grammar, especially focusing on the English language. It serves as a guide for teachers and advanced learners, presenting a philosophical approach to understanding language's role in communication and education. The opening of the book sets a foundational tone, emphasizing the profound importance of language in human affairs and education. Balch critiques traditional teaching methods that render grammar tedious and confusing. He argues for a new understanding of language grounded in clear principles that reflect both the nature of thought and valid communication methods. This initial discussion establishes a clear invitation for readers to explore new ideas about language while encouraging open-mindedness regarding the existing systems of grammatical instruction.
