Book excerpt: Excerpt from By-Ways of Literature, or Essays on Old Things and New, in the Customs, Education Character Literature, and Language of the English-Speaking People I have called this book BY - ways or literature, partly because I Wished a modest title, partly because, though the territory rambled over is cut by highways, I have not kept to the great roads, but wandered across the country searching sometimes for instruction in the old, oftener for light on the new. Portions of some of these essays have appeared in periodicals, but they have been conscientiously re-written. Our Spoken English, originally printed in the Meth'odist Qua/rterly Review, is least changed for this book, but the opinions expressed in it have been modified and the discussion considerably enlarged.
