The Natural History of the Human Teeth: Explaining Their Structure, Use, Formation, Growth, and Diseases; Illustrated With Copper-Plates (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Natural History of the Human Teeth: Explaining Their Structure, Use, Formation, Growth, and Diseases; Illustrated With Copper-PlatesIn 1755, John Hunter assisted his brother in delivering a course of lectures; but through life the task was a painful one to him, and he never attained to &#64258;uency and clearness Of expression. In 1760, his health seems to have been impaired by his exertions and in the recollection that one brother had already died under similar circum stances, his friends procured him a situation in the army, as being less intensely laborious than his mode of life. He served as a staff surgeon in Portugal and at the siege of Bellisle. On returning to London he recommenced the teaching of practical anatomy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Text-Book of English Grammar: A Treatise on the Etymology and Syntax of the English LanguageThe earliest attempts to reduce our language to grammatical system referred to the learned languages for a model, and shaped the English on the complicated frame of Latin grammar. Of this nature was the trea tise of the renowned Ben Jonson, who was regarded by Home Tooke as having given the first? As well as the best English Grammar. We have, as I apprehend, says Hallam, no earlier Grammar upon so ela borate a plan; every rule is illustrated by examples, almost to redun dance; but he is too copious on what is common to other languages, and perhaps not full enough as to our peculiar idiom.i Gifford tell that the Grammar which Jonson had prepared for the press was de stroyed in the conﬂagration of his study; and that the treatise first published in 1640, three years after the poet's death, presented rather the materials for a Grammar than a perfect work. We perceive, how ever, from these materials, that although they were professedly made by Ben Jonson out of his observation of the English language, he was directed, in his grammatical developments, more by the genius of the Latin, than by that of the English tongue.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Bob's Your Uncle (all is well) with this dictionary of British English vs. American English. Not only does it contain an A to Zed of all the terms and expressions that separate our common language; it also has lists of rhyming slang, pronunciation and spelling differences. The back of the book contains a section on cultural differences, food and drink, conversion charts, British holidays and more. This book is great for those who travel to the UK or read books by British authors. It also comes in handy if you travel to British influenced destinations such as Jamaica, Cayman Is., and India. Terms such as loo for bathroom and petrol for gas may already be some you've heard - but did you know a sleeping policeman is a speed bump or candy floss is cotton candy? If you're an Anglophile or an expatriate on either side of the pond this book is great for your business associates, families and friends. British American Business Councils and other organizations use them for their members and they have even been purchased for wedding favors when a Brit is marrying an American or vice versa. What fun! If you watch Top Gear on TV this book can translate some of the expressions you hear! Just like a foreign dictionary the first part lists UK terms and expressions and their American counterparts and the second part has US terms and British equivalents. Lists of rhyming slang are included to acquaint you with the Cockney rhyming slang - such as whistle and flute means suit. So take a shufti through The UK to USA Dictionary British English vs. American English and see if you can suss out the meanings. A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse. If you don't know what that means you'll just have to buy a copy to find out!
