English Grammar 
 Simplified 
 
 By JAMES C. FERNALD, L.H.D. 
 
 Author of ** Synonyms, Antonyms, and Prepositions," 
 Editor of "The Students' Standard Dictionary, *' etc. 
 
 A concise statement of the ele- 
 ments of grammar made in the 
 simplest language for the beginner 
 or the busy worker. 
 
 Its Index indicates the astonishing ful- 
 ness of its contents, and renders it the 
 right-hand friend of every seeker after 
 accuracy in speech and writing. No 
 matter what questions arise about any 
 word, as to its proper form in whatever 
 connection, this Index not only tells just 
 where the answer can be found, in the 
 book itself, but often gives the answer 
 without further searching — a point of 
 excellence rare in the best Indexes. 
 Brevity is gained, both in the Index and 
 in the body of the work, not by the 
 omission of important matters but by 
 eliminating discussions and extended 
 explanations while retaining every im- 
 portant fact. '^Practical English gram- 
 mar," says Dr. Fernald, '*is nothing but 
 the correct use of English words in En- 
 glish sentences'' and this book undertakes 
 to give all that, and nothing but that.

 This compact volume deals with the 
 hundred and one questions that arise in 
 daily speech and correspondence, and 
 which are not usually treated in the 
 dictionary in the same manner as in 
 this handy and time-saving book. 
 
 * * So many common errors of speech are dinned 
 in our ears daily that we grow careless and adopt 
 them as correct. ... It should be on the 
 table of everyone who wish to speak pure En- 
 glish.** — The Item, Philadelphia. 
 
 **It is a book that should be on every writer's 
 desk. If studied in season and out of season it

 of speech.** — The Uniony Springfield, Mass.

 search for a decision on a moot point or a doubt- 
 ful usage, and is invaluable for the writer who 
 lacks the leisure for extended and thoughtful

STANDARD DESK-BOOK SERIES 
 
 A Desk-Book of 
 
 25,000 Words Frequently 
 
 Mispronounced 
 
 By FRANK H. VIZETELLY, Litt.D., LL.D. 
 
 Managing Editor of the *'New Standard Dictionary**; 
 
 Author of ** Essentials of English Speech 
 
 and Literature. ** 
 
 Indicates the correct pronunciation of 
 English words, foreign terms, Bible 
 names, personal names, geographical 
 names, and proper names of all kinds 
 current in literature, science, and the 
 arts. In addition to this all words that 
 are likely to prove stumbling blocks to 
 the non-English speakingsettlerin Amer- 
 ica are included, and in so far as this last 
 feature is concerned, the work is unique. 
 
 Each term needing explanation is concisely de- 
 fined, and wherever necessary, orthoepic, and his- 
 toric notes, or quotations illustrating usage, are 
 appended. The preferences of all the principal dic- 
 tionaries of the English language, from Bullokar's 
 ''English Expositour, or Compleat Dictionary," 
 issued in 1616, to Funk & Wagnalls New Stand- 
 ard Dictionary, 1915, are placed on record, and 
 national peculiarities indicated and explained. 
 Thus, the volume, containing the recommenda- 
 tions of the leading lexicographers of three cen- 
 turies, presents the most complete concensus of 
 English pronunciation that has ever been com- 
 piled. In this respect, it stands alone in its class, 
 for no other orthoepist has attempted such a task.
