Useful knowledge. . . . Invaluable alike as desk or pocket companion. . . . Treats of the multitude of errors daily made in speaking and writing, and offers corrections collected from the best authorities. Its dictionary form enables any one in doubt to readily turn to the word required. . . . Its value and necessity are unquestionable.--_Morning Post._
A dictionary has just been published, enumerating the common blunders of speech and writing, which are constantly perpetrated. Such a work seems, at first sight, a very formidable undertaking, and the complete mastery of its text promises many a wretched quarter of an hour to those on whom its valuable information is inflicted. . . . There are some mistakes which appear to be ineradicable, and will not be corrected, even if the Blunder Dictionary arrives at its thousandth edition. . . . Next to the slave who attended a Roman Emperor in triumph to remind him that he was mortal . . . surely the object most to be dreaded is the editor of a Dictionary of Blunders, arranged on such a complete and systematic plan, as to form a court of appeal to which every household can be conveniently referred. . . . The volume is actually published, and contains 126 closely printed pages, containing examples of errors that are to be found in the daily speech even of well-educated persons. . . . The Editor is to be thanked for his useful book.--_Daily Telegraph._
