‘¢ Anyone who will take the trouble to ascertain the fact, will find how completely 
even our great poets and other writers of the last generation have already faded from the 
view of the present, with the most numerous class of the educated and reading public. 
Scarcely anything is generally read except the publications of the day. YET NOTHING 
IS MORE CERTAIN THAN THAT NO TRUE CULTIVATION CAN BE SO ACQUIRED. This is 
the extreme case of that entire ignorance of history which has been affirmed, not with 
more point than truth, to leave a person always a child. . . . The present work 
combines the History OF THE LITERATURE with the History OF THE LANGUAGE. 
The scheme of the course and revolutions of the language which is followed here is. 
extremely simple, and resting not upon arbitrary, but upon natural or real distinctions, 
gives us the only view of the subject that can claim to be regarded as of a scientific 
character.” —Extract from the Author's Preface.
