Ecclesiastical English: a series of criticisms showing the O.T. Revisers' violations of the laws of the language, &c. By G. Washington Moon, &c. London: Hatchards, 187, Piccadilly. 1886.
This is the second part of the author's “Revisers' English.” Any intelligent reader has only to read the vol. to be satisfied that the Revisers of the O.T. know the English tongue no better than those of the New. Their inconsistency too is as distressing as their ignorance. No better guide could be recommended than the two vols. of Mr. Moon, as correctives of common errors in English speaking and writing,-errors which really bristle in the Revised Version. Was Dr. Angus overawed by Oxford and Cambridge? He should not have forgotten that learned men often write bad English.
