English Idioms

English Idioms, written by James Main Dixon, M.A, F.R.S.E. are part of The Teaching of English Series that started in 1940s and are always reprinted in regular intervals. «In the present volume, instead of attempting to divide the work into chapters treating of «colloquial phrases», «cant phrases», «slang phrases» and so forth, I have thrown the whole into alphabetical form, and have marked by letters the category to which, in my opinion, the phrases ought to belong.
