Excerpt from Exercises in False Syntax and Other Forms of Bad English: For the Use of Teachers, and Candidates Preparing for Departmental and Matriculation Examinations
A few of the examples have been selected from text books and examination papers; a few more have been kindly contributed by friends or pupils; the rest have been gathered at intervals from a great variety of sources. As my object is to call attention to the mistakes, and not to the persons who have made them, I have not thought it either necessary or wise to give any references; and should any one on looking through the book find that he has been an unintentional contributor to its pages, I trust he will not take offence, but rather be glad that his mis takes are being put to so good a use. I~have not spared my own blunders, and have, therefore, felt less hesitation in availing myself of those of others.

Excerpt from Exercises in False Syntax and Other Forms of Bad English: For the Use of Teachers, and Candidates Preparing for Departmental and Matriculation Examinations
I take the opportunity afforded by the issue of another Edition to thank my fellow-teachers throughout the Province for the very favorable reception they have given to my little book. While I have thought it best, after consideration, not to attempt to carry out some of the suggestions sent me for its improvement, I have endeavoured, and I trust not without success, to add to its value and increase its usefulness by incorporating in the various Exercises some two hundred or more additional examples and questions.
A second Edition having been called for much sooner than I expected, I find myself unable, without unduly delaying the-publishers, to do more in the way of adding to the usefulness of the book than to correct such errors as I noticed in the first Edition, and to add a few examples to some of the exercises in Part III.
