Reseña del editor
Though now placed for the first time before the public in general, this little work is essentially a revised edition of one printed under the same title in 1850. Only a hundred copies were struck off, and these went into the hands of personal friends, excepting two or three which were presented to local libraries. One of them is in the library of the Manchester A thenaeum. This statement as to the long-ago composition is rendered necessary by the issue, during the twenty-eight years since elapsed, of writings upon language and etymology from the pens of Farrar, Wedgwood, Earle, Whitney, Trench, and preeminently Max Miiller. I do not presume to say that I was in any degree the pioneer of these eminent authors: my desire is simply to show that I have not been their imitator. Neither do I presume to consider myself their rival, even afar off. On the whole they have strengthened and confirmed me in my views, especially as regards the Origin of Language. There are points, nevertheless, upon which a comparison of the various works would indicate a rather wide disagreement.
