The high character of this publication is too well known to require comment here. These 

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

 parison, m 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 theii- origin in 

 the practice of these authors to discard altogether, or at least to emend, :vny name not clas- 

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

 to .an extreme to reject all words, otherwise unobjectionable, which are not formed in the 

 same manner.
