“A work that, as a treatise for the instruction of the individual student as well as for class-room use, is to be warmly commended.... On every page of this admirably arranged volume is shown the fruit of original thought, profound erudition, and philosophical grasp of a subject which has been too often obscured by injudicious counsel.”—The Beacon.
“An admirable work; the best results of recent research are embodied in it.”—Providence Journal.
“The work is a valuable contribution to linguistic science, and it will be a welcome text-book in colleges and schools and to all students of philology.”—Home Journal.
“In respect both of scholarship and of exposition, this volume is entitled to high praise.... There is no part of this book that cannot be read with pleasure as well as profit, and one is therefore embarrassed by the wealth of material worthy of illustration.”—New York Sun.
