Excerpt from Teutonic Etymology: The Formation of Teutonic Words in the English Language
It is often remarked, especially by foreign writers, that the English language needs a more scientific treatment than it has ever yet received. It is generally acknowledged, even by our own writers, that the Teutonic side of our language has been greatly neglected. Yet the Teutonic is the basis, or substantial portion of our language, and cannot be neglected without great detriment.
A thorough scientific treatment of the English language would require a great change in the helps now employed for the study of English, and would not readily find admission into our seats of learning.
In the mean time, the discussions concerning our dictionaries, the private reading of Bopp's Comparative Grammar, translated by Eastwick, 1845-1850, Donaldson's New Cratylus and Varronianus, which have just come to new editions, Trench's various works, 1853-1859, Rev. B. W. Dwight's Modern Philology, 1859, G. P. Marsh's Lectures on English Philology, 1860, and similar works, are preparing the way for a more enlightened view of the structure of the English language.
The same object may also be promoted by judicious monographs, on special topics of grammar, adapted to the recitation room, which should introduce some of the results of modern philology, and at the same time silently correct the careless statements of our common grammars.
Of this nature is the present work.
