Summary: "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'English Language' to 'Epsom Salts'" is a reference work that compiles a vast array of information across multiple subjects, likely written in the early 20th century.

At the start of the work, the text presents a thorough introduction to the historical development of the English language, outlining its major stages—Old, Middle, and Modern English. It discusses the influence of various groups, including the Anglo-Saxons and later the Normans, on the language's evolution, emphasizing how different dialects emerged and how English absorbed vocabulary from other languages throughout its history.
