This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1813. Excerpt: ... The Greek Language, the finest and most copious of any ever spoken by man, has been, perhaps, more than all others, perplexed and obscured by the ill-contrived systems of many Grammarians and Critics, who have attempted to methodise it. They have taken for their standard, the language at its most refined state, when it was the farthest possible from its original simplicity, and have founded upon it most of the elementary treatises, usually put into the hands of students, and many of the dictionaries and lexicons in general use. While their industry was remarkable in collecting examples of similar expressions, and authorities in support of various readings, it was rare to find any thing like a spirit of philosophical investigation into the nature of Language in general, or the constituent parts of it in particular. They took the language as they found it in the best authors, and endeavoured to explain it by common usage and collateral authorities, without once thinking of the steps by A which particular expressions had cotrie to assume such a form and such a meaning. About a century ago, however, the attention of philologists began to be directed to this important, subject. Hemsterhuis in Holland, and at a later period, Lord Monboddo in this country, published a system, in many respects alike, to account for the original formation of the Greek tongue. They seem to have considered the five duads, ««, la, in, la, and ij«, as the foundation of the whole greek language, and the source from which every other word, by certain combinations and flexions, derived its origin. To say that this system has not something plausible in its appearance, would be unjust to its authors and supporters, and presumptuous in any one who would, without the strongest...
