Excerpt from The Irish Difficulty: Shall and Will
The proper use of shall and will, according to the modern English idiom, must be acquired by all who would speak and write the English language correctly. In England this use prevails in the com mon language of the people, and thus is acquired by a sort of natural instinct; in other countries it can be acquired only from books. And yet, strange to say, there is no book in which the subject is treated with any approach to completeness.
