I wish this little book to be in every respect as unpretending as possible. I do not presume to represent niyself investigator,as an original nor do I aspire to a greater distinction than that of representing clearly and intelligentl}' the views of distinguished writers whothose have made the study of philology the chief pursuit of their lives. forWhile I have quoted my authorities almost every statement of importance, I have language, and even ingenerally used my own those paragraphs which I have put between commas I have so frequently abbre-inverted transposed, that the pas-viated, expanded, or yiii PREFACE. sages must not be criticised as though they intended for direct translations.had beeu I do not think that I have ever borrowed from English, French, or German, withoutany writer, ample acknowledgment. I would not be so dishonest as to shine in borrowed plumes.
