A eorrespondent think Tnc Chbom 1 cue u incorrect In saying the expres sion, "would rather," to to be preferred to "had rather," and takes quotation from Shakespeare and the Bible to sua tiln his position. In the best prose, uoh as that of Addison and M acanlay and later writers "would rather" preferred. Bat, arter all, there is no way to determine a doubtful question in grammar. Shakespeare violatee nearly every rule in modern gTammar, Time and again he uses a double 03mprative or superlative. Wtio does not remember "The most uokiodest cut of all." Uenius has a contempt for rule. Aeeeraiig ts tkeitlkle aid Dhakeipeirr To the Edllor of Tna flmomcl.B. As QuoUoo of araramar are of Inter oft to 11 all. I take the liberty of saying that I think you are wrong In your ans wer as to the expressions ''had rather,' and "would rather." I believe the former i the correct phrase. The ex pression is idiomalio and not to be argued out on general principles, but Ktttled by authority. I believe the beet authorities In the English language say "had rather." I give two only, but they are the two highest the English Bible and Bhekespeere. In the oightr fourth Pslm we rend: "I bad rather be a door-keeper In the house of my Ood than to dwell in the tent of ungodliness. " This quotation is from the early Prayer Book version of the Psalms, which is perhaps tven more idiomalio than the version of 1511. They do not differ, howevor, aa to the phrase In question. In Henry IV, part I, Act III, Scene I, we have the phrase three times, twice In Hotspur 1 speech to Oiendowor: "I had rather he a kitten, and cry mew. Than one of these same metre ballad moc eers. I had rather hear a brar.sn otustiok turned, Or a dry wheel grate en the axle tree," etc. And a little further on speaking to his wife of Lady Mortimer s siuiiiog in Welsh, he says: ' I had rather hear Lady, my brnch, bowl in Irish." A little time and pains might multi ply these examples indefinitely, bat the above show the high authority we have for preferring the common usage ' I had rather." J. B C, Ju. Nsrlk Varsllia Htiored.
