Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elements of Comparative Philology The object of the present work is to lay before the reader the chief facts and the chief trains of reasoning in Comparative Philology. This last term is by no means unexceptionable. It has the merit, however, of being in general use, and it conveys no notions which materially mislead even the most uncritical. Neither is it, by any means, an easy matter to supersede it by one which shall be exactly adequate to the subject. Those which have suggested themselves to the present writer or to others convey either too much or too little. That such a work is wanted is known to every student. Since the publication of the Mithridates, no work equally extensive and systematic has appeared: nor has the Mithridates itself been re-edited with the proper annotations or additions. The main mass of facts lies in the details of the languages themselves. Of these details, the ones which best suit a general exposition are the actual enumeration of the existing forms of speech and the phenomena connected with their distribution over the earth´s surface; the phenomena of their distribution, taken by themselves, being of great importance and interest. In some respects they are ethnological rather than philological in the strictest sense of the term. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
