""With no trace of pedantry with a constant sense that language is a living growth and with inimitable wit and humour Fowler compiled this complete guide to good sense and good taste in the choice of words. It was an entirely new kind of 'dictionary' concerned as it is with the meaning of the words the analysis of idioms only as a part of the discipline of their proper use. For the best part of a century H.W. Fowler has been the supreme lawgiver for English usage."" - Printing and the Mind of Man.
