Excerpt from An Etymology of Latin and Greek The following work had its origin in a felt want. Many students of the classical languages, all along the early part of their course, use text-books provided with vocabularies. These vocabularies, from the necessity of their limits, are brief and imperfect, and they enter but little into the subj ect of etymology. Even When afterwards the lexicon is used, the etymology is often studied only for separate words as they occur in reading; and the scattered and fragmentary information given in the lexicons pro duces a corresponding state of knowledge in the mind even of a diligent student. No connected, systematic, or thorough knowledge of etymology is thus acquired. In the grammar something may be done for historical ety mology; but the requirements of other topics in a school grammar must always prevent this subject from receiving there the full treatment Which its importance demands.

Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the Latin Language But it will be said that there are numerous words which we cannot show to be taken from the Greeks. Doubtless it is so, although the number of such words is constantly decreasing. When Vossius published his Etymology, he was ignorant that Pruina was nothing but So it was with numerous Other words. And future generations will probably supply from the Greek sound derivations of words, which to this time have been investigated in vain. Such words we have, as far as we have been able, traced on the one hand to the Northern, on the other to the Oriental languages. Not that these sources have been exhausted: much doubtless might have been added, but it is hoped that not a few valuable analogies have been here collected, and that on the whole the claims of the Northern and Eastern languages have received a patient and an attentive hearing. One word in regard to the Hebrew. Mr. Horne Tooke thus expresses his objection to the derivation of Latin from that lan guage. It is a most erroneous practice, he says, of the Latin Etymologists to fly to the Hebrew for whatever they cannot find in the Greek -for the Romans were not a mixed colony of Greeks and Jews, but of Greeks and Goths, as the whole of the Latin language most plainly evinces. This seems a reasonable proposition yet I have not omitted to indulge the fancy of those who are not persuaded by it. Mr. Tate is of opinion that the Latin language came in great measure from the Sanskrit. Dr. Jones too carries us to the Indians. The note on Latus, borne, supplies the Reader with an instance of this kind. Barrus and other words will be found traced toan Indian source. Mr. Tate cites the following passage from Sir William Jones: The first race of Persians and Indians, to whom we may add the Romans and Greeks, the Goths and the old Egyptians or Ethiops, originally spoke the same language.

Excerpt from Principles of Greek Etymology, Vol. 2 The proof sheets of the present volume have had throughout the advantage of the revision of Professor Curtius. In addition to some minor additions and corrections, an important change has been made for this translation by the author in pp. 307 - 309, as a result of the discovery stated by him in his Studien Vol. VIII p. 465. The few additions and corrections which have been made by the translators have also received the author's sanction. The pages of the third German edition have been added in the margin, enclosed in brackets, for the convenience of students, as reference is made to that edition in several popular manuals. In the first volume this was the less necessary that the greater part of it was occupied with the lexico graphical arrangement of groups of words, to which reference is usually made by the number of the group. The character j has -been retained throughout for the palatal spirant, denoted in English by y. This has been done mainly in order to bring clearly before the reader the identity of this use of the character with that which is common in Latin words. But it is believed that it will also be of advantage to the student thus to become familiar with the sign invariably used for this. Sound in German works on philology. We cannot omit this opportunity of calling attention to the Rev. W. W. Skeat's 'hand-list of some Cognate Words in English, Latin, and Greek', which contains the English representatives of many of the roots discussed in these volumes. The numbers in the indexes' refer throughout to the pages of the fourth edition of the German work, which will be found, not enclosed in brackets, in the margin.

Excerpt from Scientific Names of Latin and Greek Derivation There is no essential difference in the method of proced ure whether we are adopting from the classical languages simple words or compound words; but as not all the desired compounds exist ready made for us in Greek and Latin, and as their formation causes more trouble, the compounds will be assumed as the subject of these rules.
