Présentation de l'éditeur

Papers are in part now published for the first time, in part reprinted from the Transactions of the Philological Society, but with many changes or additions. In the selection I have passed over several papers, because I wish to reserve them for a systematic treatise on language, the greater part of which is already ripe for publication. I fear that some traces of haste will be visible in what I am now putting out; but I have two pleas in excuse: first, that the head-master of a school of nearly four hundred boys has little leisure for other work ;and secondly, that such leisure cannot now be expected to be very productive for one who has entered his seventieth year. I take the present opportunity of enumerating the various philological papers which have proceeded from my pen during the forty years or so in which I have been connected with University College, first as Professor of Latin (thirteen years) and then as Professor of Comparative Grammar (nearly twenty-seven years).
