Betty is correct (which I would have realized if I'd taken half a
second to look at the table of contents for the book before
cataloging it...)
Will change DDC code to 824 in the next update. Thanks Betty!
(824 is for English Essays. 814 is for American and Canadian Essays,
834 for German Essays, 844 for French Essays, etc.)
