I am however haunted by the thought that some
readers will regard what I have said as trivial details
which are only likely to prove a hindrance to those
who are intent upon a greater task; and I myself
do not think that we should go so far as to lose our
sleep of nights or quibble like fools over such
minutiae; for such studies make mincemeat of the
mind. But it is only the superfluities of grammar
that do any harm.
