[Ads-l] Word Study Volume 8

[Peter Reitan]

Well, I've found it.
It is now apparently on HathiTrust, full view.
The last time I looked, it was not there.
Thank you for your time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am looking for someone who might have access to a periodical called "Word=
 Study," Volume 8, March and April issues of 1932.  There is an article in =
the March issue about words various linguists, writers, poets or sophistica=
tes think are the "most musical words" in the English Language (they also a=
sked for most useful and most overused, I believe).

It is on HathiTrust, but only search mode - but cannot view the images, and=
 on Google Books, but only in "snippet view," which shows part of one or tw=
o paragraphs in March issue which appears to be the main article.  There is=
 a response in the April issue, and perhaps a few other responses in other =
issues of Volume 8.

There is a lot of commentary about the article in newspapers, but very litt=
le direct quotes or citations, so it's hard to judge whether the commentary=
 accurately reflects the content.

If anyone has access and can share it, I would be grateful.

I'm working on a history of the notion that "cellar door" is particularly b=
eautiful, sonorous or euphonious.

I've asked here once before, with no luck.  Trying one more time before jus=
t finishing with what I have.
