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.

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.

He was born in London and educated at Street John"s and Trinity Colleges, Cambridge, and graduated 19th wrangler in 1821.
From 1825 to 1827 he was the founding professor of Pure mathematics in the University of Virginia, and after his return to England was appointed (1828) professor of Latin in the newly founded University of London. In 1832 he became joint headmaster of the school founded in connection with that institution (the University College School). In 1842 he resigned the professorship of Latin, and took up that of comparative grammar, together with the undivided headmastership of the school.
These two posts he held till his death.
A few years before his death, he also took the position of secretary to the College of Preceptors in London (later known as the College of Teachers). Key is best known for his introduction of the crude-form (the uninflected form or stem of words) system, in general use among Sanskrit grammarians, into the teaching of the classical languages.
This system was embodied in his Latin Grammar (1846). In Language, its Origin and Development (1874), he upheld the onomatopoeic theory.
Key was prejudiced against the German Sanskritists, and the etymological portion of his Latin Dictionary, published in 1888, was severely criticized on this accountant
He was a Fellow of the Royal Society and president of the Philological Society, to the Transactions of which he contributed largely. Key was the great-grandfather of British authors Rumer Godden and Jon Godden.
