Pleasantly written. . . . In its dimensions it is handy, and the utility of its contents is beyond question. The legion of "self-educated" men who adorn our age should not be without this useful companion, for, by its aid, the blunders of speech more particularly common to them would be advantageously avoided.—Citizen.
So far as we can discover from a brief perusal of the handy little volume, the author's work has been very well done.—Athenæum.
A well-meant attempt to keep people clear of some common errors. . . . There is certainly evidence enough, of one kind or another, in the volume before us, of the existence of blunders which could hardly have been suspected.—Saturday Review.
Beautifully printed. . . . may be confidently
recommended to those for whose use it is designed.—Manchester Guardian.
. . . Of value, and worth knowing. . . . Amusing, and to an extent, useful also.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.
Will be found useful and amusing. . . . It is arranged alphabetically, and contains a considerable vocabulary of words supposed to present a difficulty either in spelling, meaning, or pronunciation. Some of the comments on popular mistakes are very well done.—Record.
Those who are not quite sure as to their grammar, their pronunciation, or their spelling, will doubtless find this pocket volume very useful.—Sunday Times.
Will be of use to every one who has either to speak or to write. As this embraces all mankind, the book may be said to be of value to everybody. Very neatly got up.—Scotsman.
A glance through the pages of this book is very amusing, almost as entertaining as a selection of wit and humour would be. There is no doubt as to the general accuracy and usefulness of the corrections. . . . . We heartily recommend the Dictionary.—Liverpool Albion.
