be specially appropriate to statements which imply some deliberation
of judgment. We suspect that the comparative, except when
followed by than, would have become wholly obsolete had it not been
for literary tradition and scholastic grammar. Among other
interesting points, we may mention the careful investigation of the
differences in meaning and use between who (or which) and that. The
syntax of verbal forms is handled with great ability. The index,
which appears to be fairly adequate so far as the contents of the
first volume are concerned, is far too meagre in its references to
the second volume. While heartily commending this grammar to
all students of the English language, we cannot refrain from
expressing the hope that at some future time the author will find
opportunity to write a supplement treating of those portions of the
syntax which have been excluded from the present volume.
