N C Wyeth; The White Company by Arthur Conan Doyle
Published by David McKay Co ~ 1922

"We have all indulged ourselves with the idle speculation of what one book we should wish to see salved from a literary holocaust or marooned on our desert island with the bags of rice and the kegs of gunpowder. I know a professor whose solution is a History of Greek Syntax, pure science for intellectual grist and precious scraps of quotation for spiritual savour."

R.W. Chapman (1881-1960), The Portrait of a Scholar and Other Essays Written in Macedonia 1916-1918 (London: Oxford University Press, 1922), p. 23.

(HT Laudator Temporis Acti)

"The most serious vices of modern prose are indifference to the etymology and proper meaning of words; neglect of order and rhythm; impatience of anything that can be called inversion; love of periphrastic prepositions; a tendency to prefer the abstract to the concrete and to use nouns instead of verbs; and an indolent acquiescence in worn-out phrases."

R.W. Chapman (1881-1960), The Portrait of a Scholar and Other Essays Written in Macedonia 1916-1918 (London: Oxford University Press, 1922), p. 115.
