do Etymological Dictionary of the English Language. By the Rev.

Walter W. Skeet. (Clarendon Press. 38s. net.)—This standard work, first published some twenty-nine years ago, now appears in a fourth edition, revised and enlarged. Professor Skeat gives a summary of the principles by which these changes and additions have been regulated. The result has been that "alterations have been made, more or less, in almost every article, except such as are of the simplest character." The total of words dealt with is now 14,286.
