Excerpt from Outlines of English Grammar: Calculated for the Use of Both Sexes at School; In Which the Practical Rules of the Language Are Clearly and Distinctly Laid Down, and the Speculative Difficulties as Much as Possible Avoided
The moods of verbs in Latin, except the opta tive, have been generally retained by some of the mdst respectable English grammarians; notwith standing the strong reasons which may be brought to prove, 'that we have no more than one mood in English. To abolish these moods would be cer tainly to coin our grammar anew; but it is highly probable, that what it might gain by this in meta physical value, it would lose in general currency.
