THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
Eemember, though box in the plural makes
boxes, The plural of ox should be oxen—not oxesi And remember, though fleece in the plural is fleeces, The plural of goose is not gooses nor geeses; And remember, though house in the plural is houses, The plural of mouse should be mice, and not
mouses. Mouse, it is true, in the plural is mice, But the plural of house should be houses—not hice; And of foot, it is true, the plural is feet, But the plural of root should be roots, and notreet.
