A Source Of Good English.

From the days of Milton and Bun
yam, who read the authorized
version of the Bible, then still new,
when they were mere boys, down to
the days of Abraham Lincoln and
John Bright, who were diligpnt
and earnest students of it in their
youth, it has been a model of pure
and simple and melodious English.
Such model is doubly precious
to US in these days, when an i'm
mense flood of newspapers and
MAGAZINE literary matter, written
hastily because written to be read
hastily, pours incessantIy down
upon US, and when many ali author
is tempted to secure attention by
the use of strange and highly
colored phrases. EnglIshmen and
Americans are none too careful
nowadays in their modes of com
position, and do not show that
sort Of respect for their language.
which Frenahmen usually do. 1t
would be a grave misfortune for
ENGLISH and American literature
if the masterpieces Of style that
the seventeenth century gave to
the race were no longer to dwell
in our memories and form our
habits of expression.-J m s
