In addition there are hun- dreds of letters' f rom readers of the book in ail parts of the world, some of tliem of great length. When Mr. .Mencken first began to write about the American language, in 1910, the litera- ture of the subject was very meager,1 but 110w it includes fifteen or twentyi books, perhaps a hundred pamphlets, and the files of Ainerican Eiîglish, a journal :set up in 1925 and now pub- lished by Columbia university.
