Excerpt from A Book About Words The increased attention lately paid to our Language as a subject of Education, has induced the Author to state in the following pages his views on English (and other) Words. These views are the result of a long professional career in tuition, together with the study which such a calling naturally involves. Notwithstanding the rapid strides made of late years in the science of Words, much still remains unknown to the general reader; but if the following remarks be accepted as a small contribution to a more extended knowledge of, this interesting subject, the Author will be amply compensated for any trouble it may.

Excerpt from The Romance of Words A long and somewhat varied experience in language teaching has convinced me that there are still, in spite of the march of science, many people who are capable Of getting intellectual pleasure from word-history. I hope that to such people this little book, the amusement Of occasional leisure, will not be unwelcome. It differs, I believe, from any other popular book on language in that it deals essentially with the origins of words, and makes no attempt to enforce a moral. My aim has been to select especially the unexpected in etymology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Study of Words The Study of Words, by Professor Trench, are reprinted here for your convenience in condensed form. I have been careful not to omit anything likely to be of practical value to you in your study of English; As Pro fessor Trench himself says, A man's first discovery that words are living powers, has been like the dropping of scales from his eyes, like the acquiring of another sense, or the introduction into a new world' - and it is with this thought in mind that I commend these talks to your earnest consideration.

Excerpt from Word From Word Readers, Vol. 1 Actual schoolroom experience has convinced the author that the same or a similar process must be followed in teaching the child to recognize printed symbols. As in speaking, the basal or germinal words must be learned by memory, and then from these many others may be derived simply and naturally. Five hundred thirty-four different words are used in the selections in this book. One-third of these are basal or germinal words and must be named for the pu pils and memorized by them. From these are derived simply and directly not only the remainder of the five hundred thirty-four but about a thousand other wordsthat will be encountered by the child in later reading books. Readers for beginners which present uninteresting, de tached sentences are no longer used by the most successful teachers of reading. The short jingle or Mother Goose rhyme or the fable seems to be the simplest and most natural unit in reading. The first selection to be read should be one that the child already knows word for word. He should then by his own effort, if possible, find out what the words are, instead of being told by the teacher. The Mother Goose rhymes with which this book begins are chosen with this purpose in view. Let the teacher for the first few days have the children repeat from memory Mother Goose rhymes, making sure that all can repeat Jack and Jill. Then give them their books and, beginning with the first rhyme, have them repeat it and point out the words. The rhyme is fol lowed by a number of parodies in which the word changes are few. The children will find these interesting and easy to read because few new words are introduced. N o harm is done if the jingles are read memoriter, provided the teaching of the word families 1s thorough. In teaching the new words, each should be derived whenever possible from a word or words already known. An explanation of the method and directions for using the word lists are given on pages 126 to 128. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Word and Phrase: True and False Use in English I some languages are homogeneous others hetero geneous, the homogeneous being such as consist of a larger or smaller number of root words or radicals native in them and of derivative and compound words formed from those roots; the heterogeneous those whose roots are of various origin, a comparatively small portion being native in the language, the rest being taken from one or many other sources. Of the first class the German language is a very good ex ample, but such also is the Greek and such the Latin of the other class the English language is the type. With exception of an inconsiderable number of words borrowed from extrane languages, Latin, Greek, and other tongues, the German vocabulary is absolutely pure and homogeneous, and were those borrowed foreign words to be thrown out, the native resources of the German language are sufficient to provide ade quate substitutes.

Excerpt from High School Word Book Let every student have a book. It takes too much time to copy lists from the board; besides, students often copy words as they com mouly misspell them. Do not burden yourself with the daily correction of spelling papers. The following is a satisfactory method of handling the work in Part One. Let the words be pronounced to the class and written in ink in a spelling blank (costing five cents), no word to be erased or written twice. Let the students exchange books and check the errors as the teacher spells. Let each mark the standing and write his name above the work he has checked. Collect these books and look them over carefully the first two or three days of the term and at irregular times thereafter, perhaps once a month, to get the stand ing. An unchecked error counts against the student who has failed to check it. Once a month each student should make a list of all the words he has misspelled and write them in his spelling blank for special study.

Excerpt from Good Words His love and admiration for Leighton (whom he classed in the same school with himself) makes a marked distinction between Burnet, as a member of the early latitudinarian school, and the professors of a mere cold, undoctrinal latitudinarianism. This school in its origin certainly never substituted outward obedience to the rules of Christian morality for an appreciation of the fundamental Christian doctrines which embody the principles upon which Christian practice rests. If a union in a professed adhesion to the practical precepts of Christianity took the place of a deep conviction of Christian doctrine in many of our eighteenth-century divines, this arose from the general coldness in matters of religious feeling which had at that time overspread all schools of Christian thought. The true Broad Churchman in the Church of England is not a man who depreciates Christian doctrine, but one who insists that the doctrine to which he adheres shall be really Christian, i.e. such as was really taught by Christ and His apostles, not the aftergrowth of a later and deteriorating age. Hence his standard of doctrine is found in Holy Scripture, and the earliest creeds reflecting Scripture, not in the metaphysical distinctions and argumentative subtleties and dogmatic judgments of Fathers or of Church Assemblies, based upon no certain warrant of Scripture. He holds that the Gospel is very simple; that it can be gathered in its essential features by the least instructed from the plain statements of Holy Writ; that there the great central truths on which the soul lives are written as with a sunbeam; and he looks with sorrow on the contentions about names rather than things which make up so large a portion of so called theological controversy. Hence he is very tolerant of diversities of opinion in all who have not so adulterated the simple Gospel of Christ, as to look upon those who do not accept their peculiar shibboleths as thereby debarred from participation in the blessings to secure which Christ died. Against limitations of the Gospel message, and anathemas arising therefrom, he is not tolerant; but he strives to embrace as brethren all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity; he seeks not to be intolerant of any, though they may be intolerant of him, and he discriminates as far as he can between the true simple faith of his antagonists and their unauthorised additions. He believes, too, that in the formularies of the Church of England, reasonably interpreted, he finds a closer adherence to the primitive Gospel than in those of any other Church. Now, it is generally said that Arthur Stanley was the leader of the Broad Churchmen of this age. He certainly was far the most eminent of those who professed what are commonly called Broad Church opinions in the Church of England. But the question may fairly be raised how far his want of sympathy with distinct doctrinal statements made his position unlike that of the early Latitudinarian divines. In order to answer this question it is necessary to look carefully to certain peculiarities of his mind, and of the position in which, as years went on, he felt himself placed. Of his deep sympathy with Dr. Arnold's teaching there can be no doubt. To him, through the biography, is owing the wonderful influence which Arnold's views of Christianity have exercised over the world, both in Great Britain and in America, and no one can fairly study the character of Dr. Arnold in his own writings and in the biography without acknowledging that he clung, as for his life, to the fundamental Christian doctrines; that his belief in them leavened all his actions, and supplied the major premiss of all his reasonings on religious and moral questions. To the fact of Stanley's sympathy with the teaching of his master must be added the delight which he took in simple hymns of a Scriptural character. The walls of his wife's bedroom when sickness forbade her to leave it
