PHILOLOGICAL GENIUS OF THE MODERN GREEK LANGUAGE. ie 
complete. Besides the grammar, Mutiacu has edited the “Batrachomyomachia” 
of Demetrios ZENvS, from which the student will reap benefit ; and with him 
should be taken the collection of medizval Greek chronicles and poems by 
Eisen. Great zeal has been shown in the same department of Hellenic 
study by the French, of which the “Collection de Monuments pour servir a 
l Etude de la langue Neo-Hellenique,” by Monsieur LE Granp,” and the Paris 
association for the same object, of which Monsieur D’EcHTHAL is the moving 
genius, furnish ample evidence.* English scholars as a rule have paid little 
attention to the subject. Pasuiey, Tozer, and the late Viscount SrRANGForD, 
and the late Professor FeLron in America, were the only English names known 
to me in connection with this branch of scholarship, till the publication last 
year of the highly original and ingenious work of M. GELDART; in Scotland 
special praise is due to Dr C1iyps, and after him to Donaupson.t The late 
CoRNEWALL Lewis, unfortunately, was altogether ignorant of this branch of 
Philology ; otherwise, as is evident from a note in his Essay on the Romanic 
Languages (p. 237, second edit.), he was prepared to have made an admirable 
use of it.
