Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the Latin LanguageOne word in regard to the Hebrew. Mr. Horne Tooke thus expresses his objection to the derivation of Latin from that lan guage. It is a most erroneous practice, he says, of the Latin Etymologists to ¿y to the Hebrew for whatever they cannot find in the Greek -for the Romans were not a mixed colony of Greeks and Jews, but of Greeks and Goths, as the whole of the Latin language most plainly evinces. This seems a reasonable proposition -yet I have not omitted to indulge the fancy of those who are not persuaded by it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
