Herbert Spencers recent prolest
against what he called "Americanisms
concludes thus: Perhaps a little mlsht
be done II In return for criticisms on
Americanisms like those passed above
Americans were systematically to ex-
nose deteriorations in the language as
spoken here. They might, for example,
mercIlessly ridicule the vulgar misuse
of the word 'awfully,' which has now
continued for more than a generation

TOR adds This reminds me Of the FOL

"When." concludes the "Athenaeum. :"
"the ROYAL Commission on Westmin-
ster Abbey was sitting In 1890 the pres
ent dean. who gave most lucid ana m
teresting evidence, testified that during
the nine years that he had held Office
there had been eight burials IN the alb
hey. Two OF these were members OF
the Percy-or rather Smithson--family,
who had successfully maintained a
claim 10 a vault under the chapel OF
81 Nicholas; and the remaining six
buried there on supposed national
grounds--were g. +. Street, Charles
Darwin. William Spottiswoode, Arch
bIshop Trench. Browning and Tenny-
son. IL is more than doubtful II all
these ak names would be included In
llst of. say. q national WORTHLESS who
died IN that decade written down BY
any Englishman of general culture. IL
IS always well TO correct popular de-
lusions. and II people imagine that
most Of England's national heroes or
men OF genuine mark have had inter-
ment. or even monuments. AT Vest
minister, they will soon be cured by
going through any popular calendar,
such as that OF 'Whltakers Almanack,
and ticking off the names OF English
men sufficiently distinguished TO have
their days Of birth or death recorded.
IL win then be found what small
minority have any connection with the
abbey. and that hot a few OF the
excluded names shine with greater
mster than those who gained admis-
sion"

Of popularity, Mr.. Swinburne penned
an eXuberantly eloquent and passion

Bronte, In which he predicted that the
author Of Jane Eyre would be read by

delight when Daniel Deronda had gone

Broughton no longer came up as q

would Judge George Eliots fame by
