Division of Words

PREFACE
10/45

The author may perhaps be permitted one observation.
Innovation in the use of the English language would appear to be primarily the work of scholars, and the adoption of such innovations would seem to belong to the book printer rather than to the commercial printer.

The public mind as a whole is conservative.

It is not hospitable to changes and does not soon become aware of them, much less familiar with them.

The commercial printer makes his appeal to the mind of the general public.

He will do well to use a vehicle familiar, intelligible, and acceptable to it.
Correct spelling is mainly a matter of habit and observation.
