From the Book - 1st American ed.
From Queen Elizabeth to John Locke
The rough magic of English spelling
The many advantages of a good language
'Bishop Lowth was a fool'
O my America, my new found land!
The long shadow of Lindley Murray
Of fish-knives and fist-fucks
'Our blood, our language, our institutions'
Organizing the Victorian treasure-house
'Speak that I may see thee'
The alphabet and the goddess
The comma flaps its wings
Technology says 'whatever'
'Conquer English to make China strong'
What do we do with the flowing face of nature?
