Dr- Clifton Reviews
Book by Ex-Librarian
Dr. William Stanley Hoole' book
"Sam Slick in Texas" is reviewed
by Dr. Ernest S. Clifton of the
English faculty in the article
"Karly Texas Talk," printed in
the current issue of American
Speech.
Dr. Iloole's book about a pic-
turesque Connecticut Yankee
named Samuel Adams Hammett
who once wrote popular books
about his Texas travels is linguisti-
cally interesting, but is more im-
portant us a portrait of a pic-
turesc|ue man than as a study of
language, says Dr. Clifton's re-

tant to Brooks Holt, recently ap-
