An Outline of English Speech-craft is a book written to teach Anglo-Saxon speech to English minds written by William Barnes, a philologist and English writer who has been attributed for more than 800 poems.
This book is an effort to teach English grammar speech with quotes from more than 70 different languages. The author mentions in his preface that, the word grammar itself is misused word, for grapho is to write, and graphma, worn into gramma, means a writing, and the word grammatikē meant, with the Greeks, booklore or literature in the main, and not speech-teaching alone.
