What reading level is The Dean's English; a Criticism On the Dean of Canterbury's Essays On the Queen's English book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
37, " He that "loveth father or mother more than me is not " worthy of me ". The meaning is obvious ; but had our Saviour said " He that loveth father or " mother more than I ", his words would have suggested the possibility of man's love exceeding Christ's ! " Than " has nothing whatever to do with determining the case of the pronoun.
In your first ' Plea for the Queen's English ', you laid it down as a ride that neuter verbs should not be qualified by adverbs, but by adjectives ; i.e. we ough...t not to say " how nicely she looks ", but " how " nice she looks " ; because, the verb " to look ", as here used, is a neuter verb, one not indicating an action, but merely a quality, or a state. Very well ; but, unfortunately, your practice mars the good which otherwise might be done by your precept ; for, " to appear '' is as much a neuter verb as " to " look " used as above ; in fact it is but another form of expression for the same meaning ; and yet, after ridiculing " young ladies fresh from school ", for saying " how niceZy she looks " ; you yourself say that the account to be given of a certain inac- curacy '* appears still more plainly " from the fact THE DEAN'S ENGLISH.
