'An American Glossary' is not a Slang Dictionary, though of necessity it includes specimens of vulgar diction. The illustrative quotations, which are accurately dated, number 14,000; and of these more than 11,000 belong to the period before the Civil War. In some instances a word or phrase which might be thought purely American is traced to an Elizabethan or Jacobean origin.

Clarendon Press volume, then we think that the White Paper would be even more useful than it now is.

The members of the Oxford Faculty of Modern History give the reasons which led to the neutrality of Belgium and 322 Luxemburg. They show how Belgium became a neutral state for the convenience of Europe, how the privileges of Belgium have been maintained for eighty years, and how the people of that country have fulfilled the obligations with which they were burdened. Belgium has proved to the world that she possesses other titles to existence than those afforded by treaties, and probably there is no one outside Germany who would now argue that if Belgium were blotted out the world would not be the poorer. The authors make it clear that it was in the interest of the Great Powers, rather than for her own advantage, that Belgium was made a sovereign independent state, and that in fighting for Belgium we are fighting for the law of nations.
