Review of Reviews for -March. What will Become of the English Language? Among the scattered millions who now employ our common speech in Eng land itself, in Scotland, Wales, and Ire land, in the United StatB and Canada, in India and in Australia, in Egypt and in South Africa, there is no stronger bond of union than the language itself. A certain unity of sentiment may show itself now and again; but there is no likelihood that any political association will ever be achieved. The tie that fastens the more independent colonies to the mother country is loose enough now, even if it is never further relaxed; and less than half of those who have English for their mother-tongue owe any allegiance whatever to England. The English-speaking inhabitants of the British Empire are apparently fewer than the inhabitants of the American republb; and the population of the Uni ted Kingdom itself is only a little more than half the population of the United States. To set down these facts is to point out that the English language is no longer a persona! possession of the people of Eag land. The power of the bead of the British Empire over what usnd to be called "the Queen's English," is now as little recognized as her power over what used to be called "the King's Evil." We mayragretxhat this-ia the -ease -or we may rejoice at it; but we cannot well de ny the fact. And thus we are face to face with more than one very interest ing question. What is going to become of the language now it is thus dispersed abroad and freed from all control by a central authority and exposed to all sorts of alien influences? Is it bound to become corrupted and to sink from its high estate into a mire of slang and into a welter of barbarously fashioned verbal novelties? What, more especially, is go iog to be the future of the English lan guage here in America? Must we fear the dread possibility that the speech of the people on the opposite Bides of the Western Ocean will diverge at last un til the English language will divide into two branches, those who speak British being hardly able to understand those who speak American, and those who speak American beiug hardly able to understand those who speak British. From the ''English Language in Ameri ca," by Brander Matthews, in the March Scribner's. TWO VISIONS.
