Supplement Two
The American Language
By H. L. MENCKEN
~
The concluding volume of one of
the most fascinating works of our time. Just as
Supplement One
was
the result of exhaustive new research on the first six chapters of
The
American Language, Supplement Two
covers the last five: "The Pro–
nunciation of American," "American Spelling," "Common Speech,,
"Proper Names in America," and "American Slang."
A
learned and
fascinating work that may be read without reference to
Supplement
One
or
The American Language,
it contributes not only to philology
but also to American psychology and history. 946 pages. $7.50
Supplement One
( $6.00) and
The
American Language
($6.00) are also available at your bookstore.

power by a sense of social responsibility, can be
achi~ved.
