R. JONES’s long-expected Greek and 
English Lexicon has at last appeared 
m a well-printed octavo volume of about 
900 pages, m double columns. Such a 
dictionary has beenhitherto a desideratum. 
We have had several Lexicons to the New 
Testament, of which Parkhurst’s is the la- 
test and most extensive ; but, with regard 
tothe vocables of other Greek works, the 
Jearner has always until now had the dou- 
ble task of discovering their meaning 
throngh the medium of a Latin translation, 
thus giving him two chances of errer in 
place ofone. Dr. Jones is well known as 
an eminent Greek scholar; and from such 
aman the circumstance of his being obliged 
to look, in every case, for an English cor- 
responding term, must have been of great 
advantage to the work. The Latin trans- 
lation is so familiar to the learned, that it 
comes to the mind almost insensibly ; and 
an explanation, in that language, would 
have been to the doctor a mere matter of 
rote. Here, however, with all his know- 
ledge, he must have been forced to think. 
The corresponding English word, which 
might best express" the primary meaning 
of the Greek term, could not have been 
written from memory, and was not often 
to be had withoutstudy and reflection. It 
is this study and reflection which, in our 
opinion, renders this dictionary much more 
valuable to an Englishman than any other 
Lexicon whatever. The words are here 
in alphabetical order ; but the author pro- 
misesa large quarto, arranged according 
to the roots, aud furnished with an index 
/ 
for the ease of consultation. In this pro- 
mised work, the vocabulary is to be more 
copious; but the volume before us will 
not be found wanting in that respect by. 
any learner, for he must study authors 
that are not generally studied before he 
meet witha word whichis not contained 
in this octavo. In his explanatiens, the 
doctor keeps to the principle so well illus-, 
trated by Mr. Tooke, that every word has, 
one fixed meaning, from which its second- 
ary applications are derived. This mean- 
ing he illustrates, by tracing the etymology 
of each primitive to some one of the Asia- 
tic tongues,—generally to the Hebrew. 
This he does with great ingenuity; but 
whether or not he has been always success- 
ful is, in our opinion, of less consequence: 
than most people imagine. The research: 
in such cases goes back wards ; for it is ge- 
nerally froma knowledge of the word, as. 
exhibited in a multitude of situations, that 
the etymologist first catches its radical 
meaning, which is confirmed rather than 
discovered by itsetymon. This is the usual 
and the rational procedure; unless the 
lexicographer could hit upon an etymology 
intuitively, and then demonstrate its origin 
by appealing te the applications of the de- 
rivative. To do this, however, would re- 
quire an intimate knowledge of the Ori- 
ental tongues, a knowledge which is pos-. 
sessed by few or none of the literatr of 
Europe. :
