Grammatical Commentaries, published in 1718, presents a critical analysis of William Lily's widely used grammar system. Richard Johnson meticulously examines the perceived flaws within Lily's work, identifying what he considers to be falsities, obscurities, redundancies, and defects. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of grammatical thought during the early 18th century. It reveals the scholarly debates surrounding language instruction and standardization of the English language.

Johnson's Animadversion serves as more than just a critique; it provides insight into alternative approaches to grammatical understanding and pedagogy. For scholars of linguistics, education, and the history of the English language, Grammatical Commentaries provides valuable primary source material that illuminates the changing landscape of language study in the early modern period.
