The high character of this publication is too well knt>wn to require ct)mment here. These 

 authors offer a notable contrast to some who could be named, and who would sutler Viy com- 

 parison, lu the great care they take for the correct and precise orthography of words accord- 

 ing to their classical etymology. Many of the above new names, in fact, have their origin iu 

 the practice of these authors to discard altogether, or at least to emend, any name not cla.s- 

 sical in form. Commendable as is this care iu the coining of new words, it is perhaps going 

 to an extreme to reject all words, otherwise unobjectionable, wliiili aie not formed iu the 

 same mannei-.
