Stem Dictionary of the English Language e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. All pupils can be, and should be, thoroughly grounded in the present use of the elements of the English language; and at the proper time they should be encouraged to connect those elements with their original sources. While it is desirable that all should be able to do this, yet in the nature of the case but a very small per centage can ever be expected to do so. To the masses of the English speaking world a stem must remain English, and English alone.
