if by the end of the seventeenth century english grammar writing had made a modest start, totaling 16 new grammars since bullokar's "pamphlet" of 115 years before, by the end of the eighteenth, the pace was positively brisk; 270 new titles were added during that century. both publishing and demand, moreover, would continue to mushroom. the first half of the nineteenth century would see the appearance of almost 900 new books on english grammar. showing little originality, most new books took the tack of claiming—as justification for their appearance—that the needs of their particular target audience were still unmet or that a particular "grammatical point" had not been treated adequately in the preexisting texts, or oftentimes both. texts that were both utilitarian and egalitarian were proliferating everywhere. edward shelley's "the people's grammar; or english grammar without difficulties for 'the million"' (1848), for example, was written for "the mechanic and hard-working youth, in their solitary struggles for the acquirement of knowledge." similarly, william cobbett's popular mid-century book was titled, "a grammar of the english language, in a series of letters: intended for the use of schools and of young persons in general, but more especially for the use of soldiers, sailors, apprentices, and plough-boys".
