Preface to a Dictionary of the English Language

Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
Our knowledge of the northern literature is so scanty, that of words undoubtedly Teutonick the original is not always to be found in any ancient language; and I have therefore inserted Dutch or German substitutes, which I consider not as radical but parallel, not as the parents, but sisters of the English. The words which are represented as thus related by descent or cognation, do not always agree in sense; for it is incident to words, as to their authours, to degenerate from their ancestors, and to change their manners when they change their country. It is sufficient, in etymological enquiries, if the senses of kindred words be found such as may easily pass into each other, or such as may both be referred to one general idea. The etymology, so far as it is yet known, was easily found in the volumes where it is particularly and professedly delivered;

A Grammar of the English Tongue
Author: Samuel Johnson
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781542471756
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
This book, which requires a couple of hours of reading, is very useful for these searching for a better understanding of English and its roots. The book brims with humor. For example, Johnson has this to say about adjectives: "the comparison of adjectives is very uncertain, and being much regulated by commodiousness of utterance, or agreeableness of sound is not easily reduced to rules."
