Excerpt from The First Part of Jacobs' Latin Reader, Adapted to Bullions' Latin Grammar: With an Introduction, on the Idioms of the Latin Language; An Improved Vocabulary; And Exercises in Latin Prose Composition, on a New Plan Besides the application of the principles of Grammar in the analy sis of sentences, no less important is the study of the words them selves of which these sentences are composed. This belongs to the department of Etymology, and to the enquiring and philosophical mingi presents a most interesting and pleasing field of investigation. A proper selection of words is no less necessary to the expression of our thoughts than their proper arrangement in sentences. Much, accordingly. Of the interest and advantage of studying the models of antiquity lies in the study of the words selected by these writers for conveying their sentiments to others. The derivation and com position of words, and the variety of meanings which they assume in the expression of thought, should therefore form an important part of study to the classical student from the very beginning, and ii' properly conducted will prove as pleasing as it is profitable. It may be laid down as a principle capable of abundant illustration. That every word has one primitive and radical signification, to which all its other significations and uses are related, and from which they are drawn. This may be regarded as its strict and proper meaning, and should constantly be associated in the mind of the learner with the word itself. Once in possession of this, and accustomed to trace the varied shades of meaning which the words assume as they diverge from their radical and primary signification, he will feel an interest and see a beauty in the study of language, which he would otherwise never be likely to attain.
