Instructive Book
on Speaking English


For those who are interested in the
ae1gin and growth Of the English
language. Essentials of Speech and
Literature, by Dir Frank Fl. Vie
seily. and published by the Funk &
ENagnails Co. will prove entertaining
and Instructive Each of the chief
factors in the development Of English
receives proportiouate consideration.
From the point of view Of this book.
these essentials are ID how the Ian
gliage came into being; (21 who was
responsible for its origin; go what
changes have taken place m its ortho-
graphical developments; - to whom
is this development cue; % through
2.Ia8t media has il been attained; (o)
R'hat We're the refining influences that
have brought il through its crude
original forms TO the plastic medium
for expressing thought which we have
to-day.
80 present these essentials in con-
crete form is the purpose Of tho book,
which records the chief facts con-
cerning the historical and chronological
development of the language and
which shows by illustrative examples
crom different periods. the progress
made therein.
The tendency of the American
people i 10 become more accurate in
their written and spoken speech: the
tendency in England IS growing
toward laXity. Men who know will
sngly admit this. Shortly before his
death Professor Walter Skeat recon-
lnended the contemplation of this
astounding fact TO the serious con-
sideration of his fellow countrymen.
Rudyard Kipling's views are very
different Writing about the Ameri
cans, this is what he said: They de-
Jude themselves into the belief that
thay talk English English. The
American has no language. He has
dialect. slang. provincialism, accent
md so forth But it is well known
IN England today that professors in
American universities and other
American scholars have done more
than any other Notwithstanding peo-
ple to preserve in all its purity that
''well Of English undedled," which we
share in common.

Lamyer Writes on Faitn

"The Law of Faith is book writ
ten by a lawyer, with notes on the
written law, by Jos phi f. Randolph.
The book discusses what faith is and
how it leads men to God. 1t assumes
that the Bible words are their own
best Interpretation, to be read by
millions of plain men and women, and
therefore simpler and palmer than
any of the systems and theories that
have been built around them.
Here all the Bible words about faith
are brought together, and put side by
side, leaving all systems and opinions
to De tested in that full light. To the
suthor faith seems to shine in that
light in every trustful heart; in every
faithful life, and in every honest be-
lief: but no beliefs rise like ramparts
between men or like walls of separa-
tion from Gods mercy. G. p. Put
nam Company are the publishers.
