ON THE
STUDY OF MODERN LANGUAGES
IN GENERAL, AND OF
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN PARTICULAR.
BY DR. DAVID ASHER.
In one Volume 12mo, cloth.
“I have read Dr Asher's Essay on the Study of the Modern Languages with profit and pleasure, and think it might be usefully reprinted here. It would open to many English students of their own language some interesting points from which to regard it, and suggest to them works bearing upon it which otherwise they might not have heard of. Any weakness which it has in respect of the absolute or relative value of English authors does not materially affect its value.”—Richard C. Trench.

“The travels of Baron Munchausen are perhaps the most astonishing storehouse of deception and extravagance ever put together. Their fame is undying and their interest continuous; and no matter where we find the Baron,—on the back of an eagle, in the Arctic Circle, or distributing fudge to the civilized inhabitants of Africa,—he is ever amusing, fresh, and new.”
