<br/><br/> "Eric Partridge's lively and erudite books on the English language were, and are, all classics in their field. As such they have stood up remarkably well to the passage of time and have been much reprinted, at first with emendations by Partridge himself. Modern readers can still enjoy his wit and elegance and the forthrightness of his judgements. But language changes with time, and if Usage and Abusage, whose first edition appeared as early as 1942, is to continue to be a practical guide to its subject today, some updating is now necessary for several reasons (...) On the other hand, there have been considerable advances in the study of English grammar in the last half century. I have tried to approach reverently the task of modernizing this delightful book (...) I hope the result is not too uneasy a blend of the old and the new". Janet Whitcut.
