Book Description
Excerpt from A Concise Etymological Dictionary of the English Language Again, as regards the Romance languages. Especially French, it must be borne in mind that they are also subject to phonetic laws. These laws are sufficiently illustrated in Mr. Paget Toynbee's trans lation of lirachet's Historical French Grammar. In particular, I may note that most French substantives are derived from Latin accusation; and that to derive bomb: from bani/d: or Ironour from Lat. Armor is simply impossible.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Etymological Manual of the English Language: Comprising the Prefixes, Affixes and Principal Latin, Greek, and Saxon Roots of the English Language In an Etymological Manual lately published, we introduced the French language, as a knowledge of it is essential to an accurate acquaintance with the English. In the present Manual, however, we have omitted the French, as there are many who do not study it, and on that account would prefer the work in its present form. In other respects, the two works are alike., The mode, therefore, of using both will be the same, and is here stated, in what follows, as itiscontained in the preface to the other. The best manner, which experience has shown, of using the Manual is, after the pupil has committed to memory afew of the Latin prefixes with their meanings, and the various forms they assume, for the teacher to examine him, either by giving the meaning and requiring the prefix, or by giving the prefix and requiring the meaning, or both. Aftermiich, the teacher will require the pupil to adduce the examples laid down in the book, or others, sufficient to show that he knows both the prefix and its import, when he sees it in composition. The prefixes and a ixes having been thoroughly acquired, the pupil may proceed to the Latin roots, following the same mode with them as with the prefixes; and from one part to another, till he has gone over the whole. The method may be better understood, perhaps, by an example. Take the word occurrence. The teacher may ask such question as the fol lowing: Of what parts is occurrence composed? (ac, iv rnxncx.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the French Language These three works give us all the philological discoveries made during the last thirty years in the French language; and the chasm which separates them from the dreams of Menage and Roquefort can only be compared to that which lies between the chemistry of Lavoisier and the reveries of Raymond Lulli, or Van Helmont. It may there fore seem needless to wish to swell the catalogue with a new philo logical Dictionary; but still I have decided on writing this book; for there is a blank to be filled up. In scientific subjects there is always room for two kinds of books - those which teach established scientific knowledge and transmit our learned acquisitions in a collective form, and those which leave former discoveries alone, in order to at tempt new research, to work out the solution or the discussion of problems hitherto untouched. Thus, in zoology, a treatise intended for the general public would be silent as to all doubtful or unsettled questions (such as the origin of species, or the like), and would occupy itself solely with the minute proof of established truths: but if on the other hand the treatise were addressed to the narrower class of professed naturalists, it would be satisfied with simply stating known facts (assuming their proof to be known by the reader) and would set itself specially to elucidate by new observations or hypotheses those problems which were yet uncertain.

Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of English Etymology The present volume is intended to serve as a help to the student of English etymology. In my Etymological Dictionary, the numerous examples of similar letter - changes are invariably separated from each other, by the necessity for adhering to the alphabetical order. It is therefore advisable to re-arrange the results so as to shew what words should be under consideration at the same time. It is only by a com parison of this character that the various phonetic laws can be properly observed and tested. I have found it advisable to follow the example of Mr. Sweet, in his History of English Sounds, and to consider what may be called the 'native element' of our language apart from the Romance or imported element. Hence I have purposely excluded all words of French origin from the present investigation. A few French words are quoted here and there by way of illustration, but no inferences are here drawn from the results which their history furnishes. If the present volume should meet with approval, I propose to issue another volume, to be entitled 'second Series, ' Which will deal particularly, and almost exclusively, with the words which have been imported into English from French, as well as from Latin, Greek, and other languages (except Teutonic and Celtic) af/er the N orman Conquest.
