In the able article on " CHARACTERISTICS OF PRESI* 

 DENT GAUFIELD," in The Century Magazine, it3 author, 

 E. V. SM ALLEY, thus alludes to this little book: 



"He had a great love for linguistic knowledge, and would often 

 aaake a half -game and half-study with his children of telling th& 

 meanings of words, or detecting errors in pronunciation. Drop- 

 ping in at his house, one morning in the campaign summer o. 

 1880, just as breakfast was over, I found the family lingering at 

 the table while the General read from a little dictionary of words 

 frequently mispronounced. He would spell the word, and then 

 ask each in turn what the correct pronunciation should be i'he 

 elders were about as apt to make mistakes as the children, and a 

 great, deal of lively chat and merriment, and not a little instruc- 

 tion, resulted from the exercise. This he kept up every morning 

 breakfast until the book vas exhausted."
