benefit whatever arising from this classification; and, as there is no index, it appears to us extremely cumbrous and unsuited to practical purposes. Nor do we perceive that this work in any other respects presents any particular advantage.

A third publication is by Mr. Howard; which is certainly ingeniously arranged. The words comprehended under any particular subject, as plants, kitchen-utensils, implements of husbandry, the senses, &c., are brought together under separate heads. But there are too many words introduced to allow us to suppose that, unassisted as the memory is left in every other respect, they could be learnt by a pupil. Portions, it is true, might be learnt from time to time; but the memory could retain but few of the words long. Even the arrangement perhaps is not attended with those effects which might be supposed. For the name of one plant, for instance, does not lead to the name of another, except by the alphabetical series, which, however, would be much too uncertain and fallacious a guide. We observe some little stories, properties of plants, &c. subjoined to some of the words, which are interesting without a doubt, but seem to us foreign from the design of such a publication.

We have seen other works on the Roots of the Greek Language; but these have been on too confined a plan to admit here of any further notice. The only work which will arrest our attention, before we proceed to the consideration of that which we have placed at the head of this article, is one by Mr. Hall, the plan of which appears to us to be more similar to that of the work under review than any which we have seen. It is a work on

the Roots of the Latin Language, "simplified," as the writer announces, by a display of their incorporation into the English tongue." There are too many distinct alphabets in this publication. There are too many uncommon words put down as being English words. Avenage, Curiality, Setaceous, Rimose, Micacious, Cachinnation, Cibarious, Balneation, Parietal, are some of a catalogue of words which produce at least as much difficulty to a beginner as the Latin words Avēna, Curia, Seta, Rima, Mica, Cachinnus, Cibus, Balneum, Paries could do. The derivative words, set down as proceeding from the roots, are often too doubtful or too certainly false to be admitted. As when Trabs is said to come from Trans-via; Vomer from Vomo-terra; Singultus from Sonus-gula. We observe that Percussion is stated to come from Cudo; and we have observed other mistakes which demand correction. The writer has given Latin sentences exemplificative of the roots introduced, and these sentences are translated. But this work omits many necessary roots; and the names of plants are of very rare occurrence. We give the opening:

on the elegance of grouping, richness of fancy, and variety of subject; this is our poetry of the imagination. Lastly, there are many artists, whose fame depends more on the peculiar brilliancy of their coloring, their taste and polished execution, and the address with which they render a trite and common subject interesting, than either sublimity of conception, or variety of incident; this is our poetry of language. The greatest poet, like the greatest painter, is he, who can combine and concentrate in his own works the greatest display of those properties, which are the distinguishing beauties of other artists.
