Corrected from the best authorities and arranged in alphabetical order. . . . The student can turn readily to the remarks made upon any particular mistake.—Dublin Evening Mail.
A useful aid to correct speech.—Literary World.
The value of a book is not always to be reckoned by its size. This little dictionary would go into the waistcoat pocket, yet every word in it has its value, and the common mistakes in speaking and writing which it undertakes to correct are nearly always put right in the best way. In a few instances in which we are inclined to criticise, a conflict of opinion among the authorities would probably be found to exist.—Bookseller.
A manual such as this will not be out of place at the right hand of all who desire not to blunder.—Dundee Advertiser.
An excellent little book, which cannot be too well known or too widely circulated. We know a large number of persons who would preserve themselves from perpetrating the most unfortunate blunders if they would carefully consult it.—Christian World.
The compiler of A Dictionary of Daily Blunders at least deserves credit for an excellent idea. . . . Even the most practised speaker or writer is liable to momentary uncertainty about simple points of pronunciation or spelling—not to say construction of sentences. . . . Contains some good material. . . . A useful feature of the book is the publication in full of participles, in the spelling of which a writer is often apt to get confused, and which are rarely included in dictionaries.—Nottingham Guardian.
Evidently at great pains, the author of this useful handbook has brought together a large number of blunders which are heard often in speaking and seen in writing. We have gone rather minutely over the work, and can say that the corrections are nearly all just. . . . The book will be useful to many, and the reader will be surprised to find in what a great number of instances he is wrong in the usage and pronunciation of words. We recommend this handbook heartily.—Dundee Courier.
We can speak highly of this publication. . . . A credit to the publishers, and we have little doubt will have a very large circulation.—Wigan Observer.
The selection has been very judiciously made. One must be a remarkably faultless speaker and writer who does not get several useful hints from this booklet.—Aberdeen Journal.
. . . There is in this small volume a good deal of really useful matter, and many readers (especially among those who are also writers) might derive more benefit from its study than would by themselves be imagined.—Exchange.
