Publisher's Synopsis
The Dean's English is a critical examination of the essays on the Queen's English written by the Dean of Canterbury. The author, George Washington Moon, provides a thorough analysis of the Dean's writing style, grammar, and use of language, pointing out areas where he believes the Dean has fallen short. Moon argues that the Dean's essays are not a reliable guide to proper English usage and that they contain numerous errors and inconsistencies. He also discusses broader issues related to language and its use, including the importance of clarity and precision in communication. The book, which was originally published in 1865, remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
