A Study of English Words is a study of the growth of the English language. Anderson's book is not a dictionary or an examination of grammatical principles, but rather a detailed examination of the English language and the changes it had undergone as of the late nineteenth century. The book opens with a chapter on the defining principals of language development in which Anderson outlines his belief in the importance of etymology. The book then proceeds to examine the major changes that English words have undergone, focusing primarily on the external influences that have caused these changes. Individual chapters are devoted to Greek, Latin, and French elements in English, the artist's and scientist's use of words, the ever expanding list of synonyms for English words, and several other topics. While the author states in his preface that the book is intended as a textbook, A Study of English Words is surprisingly devoid of any review questions. Anderson's book is a thorough and competent examination of the growth of the English language. The author has appropriately identified the major forces that influence change in the language, and has effectively highlighted these changes. While the book can seem dry at times, Anderson's concise language ensures the major teaching points are never obstructed. A Study of English Words is a book that will appeal to the true English-language enthusiast. Those fascinated by the development of language will find this to be an informative and worthwhile read.

Excerpt from Words and Their Uses, Past and Present: A Study of the English Language IN preparing a new edition of this book, I have sought help and taken hints from every criticism of it that I have seen; and I heard of none that I did not try to find if it was not at hand. Whoever at tempts to correct the faults of others in any respect may expect severe treatment at the hands of the very men whom he would serve; and if his efforts are directed to their use of language, he may reasonably look forward to walking, sitting, and sleeping upon pen points for a while. Wherefore I have been very pleasantly surprised that of the much that has been written about this book, so little, comparatively, was disparaging. In only one quarter have I found reason to complain of unfairness, or even of a captions spirit, while the general tone of my critics, public and pri vate, has been that of thankfulness for a real service. But I have tried not to allow myself to be led by the favorable judgment of my critics into the belief that I could disregard the strictures of my censors.

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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from English Words: An Elementary Study of Derivations This book is written primarily for use as a text book in high-schools and colleges. Its object is to call attention to the literary values of words as far as can be done in a brief examination of deriva tions. It is hoped, therefore, that it may not be without interest for that large class who, though in no sense specialists, take an interest in the his tory of words, and that some young men may be prompted by it to take up the study of our lan guage seriously. My acknowledgments are due to Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons for permission to insert the tables of Latin and English derivatives from Professor Marsh's lectures, and to the Open Court Publish ing Company of Chicago for permission to make some extracts from Max Muller's latest lectures.

Excerpt from English Usage: Studies in the History and Uses of English Words and Phrases It is Often said that a preface is unnecessary. I feel, how ever, that I should write one to set forth the Object and the scope of this volume. I have long felt that not only purists but a far better class of men were putting us, teachers and pupils and general pub lic, in strait-jackets. Distinguished grammarians and emi nent rhetorical scholars condemn in their books many words and phrases that we see all through the literature. They seem at times to combine to expel from the language some locution that we have heard frequently from attractive speakers and have seen often in the works of eminent writers.
