More Logomachy

SIR commend most enthusiastically (difficult word this) your inclusion of the word 'chiliastic.' Our language is so rich and we should welcome every stimulus to its fuller use and greater enjoyment.

For the anabrodietical and antineologist there is always the more digestible but less interesting pabulum of Old Lob or Read-ing With-out Tears.

Meanwhile, I look forward to a weekly offering of a strange and unaccustomed morsel in the SPECTATOR ial dish.
