Excerpt from An Essay on the Origin and Formation of the Romance Languages: Containing an Examination of M. Raynouard's Theory on the Relation of the Italian, Spanish, Provençal and French to the Latin
The problem, of which a tolerably complete solution is offered in the following pages, is one which cannot fail to interest all who have con sidered the intimate connexion of the develop ment of languages, as well with the political his tory of the communities by which they are spoken, as with those refined processes of thought, of which language is at once the exponent and the evidence. In this point of view the origin and progress of the modern dialects of the Latin are marked by peculiarities, which give them a pre dominant title to attention. Having arisen within a purely historical period, they are free from the elements of uncertainty which em barrass all enquiries into the origin of most other languages; while their descent from the language of the great Roman nation, and their actual diffusion over all the west of continental Europe, invests them with a deep interest in the eyes of all who take a connected view of the ancient and modern condition of these great nations.

Excerpt from An Essay on the Origin and Formation of the Romance Languages: Containing an Examination of Raynouards Theory on the Relation of the Italian, Spanish, Provençal and French to the Latin
The following Essay was originally written with the view of being published in the Cambridge Philological Museum, as a criticism of M. Raynouard's researches into the history and formation of the Romance Languages. The discontinuance of that journal having left me no alternative, but to suppress altogether what I had written, or to print it as a separate work, I resolved after some hesitation to adopt the latter course. I am fully conscious that much still remains to be done for the systematic exhaustion of the subject discussed in it: but as M. Raynouard's writings have now become scarce even in France; as they are rarely met with, and are little known in this country: as moreover a reference to many other books is required which can only be procured in foreign libraries; and as there is no extant work of authority which contains a general view of the history and grammatical structure of the Romance languages, I have thought that the results of my researches would be acceptable to some persons who might be desirous to obtain a connected view.
