This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... seen explained in every Greek or Latin Grammar. In most of the cases hitherto mentioned it would be impossible to describe the change of meaning as due to metaphor or transference in the ordinary sense of the word. The change takes place, whether we like it or not. The original moaning of words fades, their full intension becomes lessened, their extension in consequence grows larger and larger, and without any stretch of imagination the words thus changed come to express concepts which seem to have grown up simultaneously with this process of decay.

In Spanish casilla, small house, is used for head, and socar a uno de Bus casillas means to drive one out of his little house, i. e. to make him impatient. Humorously the head is called "la tapa de los sesos," the lid of the senses.1 It happens likewise, though of course less fre-4. iransi-quently, that names applied to immaterial I'mmaSai objects are used again with a material to Material, meaning. Thus soul, after having become the name of the spiritual element in man, is employed in the sense of a human being, as when we say, "I did not see a single soul there." Ghost and spirit, after conveying the meaning of something invisible and intangible, are often used in the sense of apparitions that can...
