Review
Studies in Etymology presents Classical influences on English simply and clearly. It will be of most utility to those whose interest in Latin and Greek is primarily for their reception in English. While the historical introductions are not always as precise as might have been wished, they are readable and will hopefully prompt students to further investigation.
