Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of the History of Language AN attempt has been made to assist in making Professor Paul's great work better known to the English public, by translating it into English. In the original'by far the greater number of illustrative instances are drawn from the German language. In cases where English examples served precisely the same purpose as those drawn from German they have been frequently substituted. Additional examples, mainly drawn from English, have been inserted in brackets. It is hoped that it may be possible on a future occasion to add an Appendix fully illustrating the principles laid down by Paul from the English and other languages. Several references have been made to works which have been published since the appearance of Paul's work, such as the most recent productions of Darmesteter.
