The King's English

The especial thanks of the compilers are Offered to Dr. Bradley, joint editor Of the Oxford Englis/t Dictionary, who has been good enough to inspect the proof sheets, and whose many valuable suggestions have led to the removal of some too unqualified statements, some confused exposition, and some positive mistakes. It is due to him, however, to say that his warnings have now and then been disregarded, when it seemed that brevity or some other advantage could be secured without great risk Of misunderstanding.
