M This posthumous work of Dr. Hodgson deserves a hearty welcome, foi
it is sure to do good service for the object it has in view — improved accuracy
in the use of the English language. . . . Perhaps its chief use will be in
very distinctly proving with what wonderful carelessness or incompetency
the English language is generally written. For the examples of error here
brought together are not picked from obscure or inferior writings. Among
