Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from Glossology of the Historical Relations of Languages 1. The term Glossology, though in some measure new to English literature, will be employed in the following pages to signify that applied Science which investigates the various languages spoken or written by mankind, with reference, on the one hand, to the pure science of Universal Grammar, as the source of principles in which they necessarily agree, and, on the other hand, to the historical facts which constitute or cause their differences. Every pure science emanates from an Idea in the human mind, which is permanently and universally true; and every applied science combines with that idea the effect of circumstances, which, being partial and subject to change, necessarily fall within the domain of history. The applied science of Language, if confined to the speech of a single country or district, forms the particular Grammar of the language there spoken; but if it embrace many languages, testing their formation, construction, and powers, by the common standard of Universal Grammar, it is termed by different authors Comparative Grammar, Comparative Philology, Sprachlehre, Linguistique, Glottology, or Glossology. I have adopted the last of these terms, because it is analogous to many English words derived from the Greek, such as Glossography, Geology, &c.; and because its derivation from yXwo-co, a tongue or language, and Aoyoc, reason, sufficiently indicates that its office is to open forth the reasons and causes of diversity in the numberless modes by which men, in different parts of the world, give utterance to their thoughts and feelings in speech. 2. I have elsewhere fully explained what I mean by the word Idea, as a basis of pure science. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Language, Vol. 2: Glossology, or the Historical Relations of Languages; Comprehending the Etymology, or Derivation, of Particular Words; The Different Modes of Their Construction in Different Languages; The Comparative Similarities and Dissimilarities of Words The present work was originally composed for the Encyclopedia Metropolitana, a publication which was designed to have been produced under the editorial care Of the late Samuel Taylor Coleridge. That accomplished scholar, distinguished poet, and profound metaphysician, was unfortunately prevented by ill health, and other adverse circumstances, from carrying the intended editorship into effect? He, however, not only devised the comprehensive plan which was described in the Prospectus Of the Encyclopaedia, but furnished the original materials for a general introduction, which his friend, my uncle, Sir John Stoddart, undertook, at the desire of the proprietors, to arrange for publication, in the form in which it eventually appeared. My uncle was led, from this circumstance, to draw up an article on Grammar, which, though hastily executed, in the intervals of a laborious profession, was deemed by Mr. Cole ridge not unworthy to occupy a place in the Encyclopaedia. The subject was one which had attracted the author's atten tion at a very early period. He was educated at the school in the Close Of Salisbury, an institution attached to the Cathedral, and of which a Minor Canon, Dr. Skinner, was Master, and the Rev. E. Coleridge (an elder brother Of the poet), Under Master. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
