FROM "TOPICS OF THE TIME" IN APRIL "CENTURY."

"Nothing could be more amusing than the unconscious humor of 'English
as She is Taught' yet where is the thoughtful reader whose laughter is
not followed by something like dismay? Here are examination papers
taken from many schools, evolved from many brains; yet are they so like
character that all might be the work of one puzzled school-boy
struggling with matters too deep for him."

"A side-splitting compilation."--_Pall Mall Gazette_, London.

"More to laugh over than any book of its size ever published."--_Boston
Times._
