     I have now read almost all of this book.

     Though I have studied linguistics, I don't consider my knowledge
     to be deep enough to be able to assess the strength of the arguments,
     but I found them very plausible.  Also, I can attest to the high
     level of scholarship in these papers.

     I think every library that covers 'history of the English language'
     as one of its subject areas should have this book !

     I found all of the articles interesting and thought provoking.
     More than that, I thoroughly *enjoyed* reading it ...
