Qn the ·contrary, who w.ilJ. nqt be c.andid enough to acknowledge, that his
:nati\•e tongue has undergone a number of changes ; and ·has proceeded daily . in
improvement, till it ha~ arrived at its prefent degree of perfctl:ion ?-at leaft,
·this muft be acknowledged with regard to all 01odcrn European languages, and
particularly our own.
Let any one but read. the hiftory of our own nation, writ~en onlY. a century or
two paft, and he win prefenfly be ftruck with the uncouth appearance, both in·
ftile and ort.hogfapby, n1ade ufe· of by his 'good uld.anceftors.
. Mankind, as tney have advanced in the kno\vledge of things, and as they havF
!Jlade a greater progrefs in the arts ?-lid fciences, have bee;,n obliged to invent, ·C?t
to adqpt, new naines, anq give new tenns to new ideas 1 and thus in time have
.acquir~d new knowleoge, and a new language.. . . . .
This gradual· advancement in fcience, and this acquired in1provement in Ian•
·guage, bas in a great meafure arifen from that 1nutual connexion and communi• .
cation, wh ich commerce has introduced into the world, by opening nc\v channel•
of knoVl'ledge to mankind 1 and thus, by importing and adopting the improved
accompliil1mcnts of other nations, tqey h~ve enlarged tlii:f r own former ftock J
.and have increafcd in knowledge, as they l;iave :increa(ed !n · trade.
By travelling into foreign parts, and there obferving the cuftoms, manners,
and learning of other nations, they have been able to bring. away a certain por-
tion of thQr wifdom, 11s well as a certain portion of the produce of their
<:limat.<i ! : whereas, had they never travelled, nor re1uoved from their native
habitations, both they, and \Ve ourfelv~s, might have continued as ignora.nt, and
.as barba-rous., as the firft iuhabitaots of our iOa.nd, or of any other plac;e, mull:
naturally be fuppofed to have been; Or at lcaft, if either .they, or \\'e, had llf-
.rived at any degree of knowledge, or made any tolerable irnprovements in the art.s
~d fciences, without travel, it 111uft have been, lik~ that of the inhabitants of
-Otah.eite, by the n1ere dint of application~ thro' neceffity, and the acquired ex-
perience of unnuu1bered ages.
· Such mull: naturally be tbe fiate of every nation and language that pretends
to originality : it mull: be corifeffed indeed that original languages, or thofe
which are properly fo called, fee.m to have one advantage over their defcen-
-dents, or derivatives; viz. that they can f.'ly, they are the fource froan whence
the moderns have fprung: . but this is only a fmall and trivial advantage, to what
a modern language, and tht Englijh in particular, is cndo\ved \vith 1 notwith-
ftanding both that, and all other ·111odern languages, labollr under many incon-
veniences', which the originals \Vere intirely free fron1; I n1ean the fupcrabundant
ufe of particles, and the alinoft total want of dcclenfions in their nouns, and of
·conj ugations in their verbs: thele, and Jome others, are the in conveniences and
difadvantages which all n1odcrn languages labour under, and in which the origi-
nals have Jo juil: a title to c lan1e the fuperiority ; but then, thefe ought ·not to be
magoiJied too high, nor modern languagc.s , our O\VO efpecially, be decried too

·iliall defire leave to quote his OW11 words, in his s~ttUVtntb Chapter of the ancient
'Englilh To\•ng; (which he wo11ld have to be pu rely Saxon) where he fays;
·p . 204, " Since the tynie of Chancer, 1nore-Latin and French bath bin mingled

.by often experience it is found, that fame Englijhmm difcoutjing together, otherJ
heeing pre.font, and ef onr awn nation, and that naturally jpeak the Englifh toung,
are not able lo 'IJnderfland what the others Jay, notwitijlanding they call it Englijh that
they JPeak." ·
He then proceeds to give two ex.amples of the fantafiicalnefs of \Vriting and
fpeakiog in technical terms, or terms of aff'etl:ed qua\n tneCs -and innovation; but
. as the fame.abfurdity has been more elegantly expoCed by Addifon, I 111all de-
cline tranfcribing them; ancj only obforvc, that notwithftancling this good old
Anglo-Saxon ·has thus nobly ftood up in defence of what he judged to be his
:
mother tongue, (the Saxon) yet all thofe words in the foregoing quotation, which
have been here purpofely prJnted in Italics, are neither Englilh, nor Saxon, bu.c
undoubtedly derived' frorn the Greek.
It would therefore almoft make one fmile, to heaF him abuCe the Engliih lan-
guage, for having lent hitn words to abufe it with ; and which are no\v become
fo numerous, and confequently fo powerful , that it is not the \vriting of a
Verft-egan will ever perCua\le the prefent race of Engli{hmen to revert back again
"to· the.antient Anglo-Saxon tongue, any more than an antient Anglo-Saxon lady
could prevail on·ooy of her modern Englilh fair country-women at this day to
adopt the manner of her garb ; or, if any one, merely thro' frolic, fl1ould be
J:iardy enough to attempt it, I believe {he would not venture in that habit to
walk openly in our public ftreets : fuch a dreCs might perhaps be ad1nitted at a
inaCquerade. .
Our language therefore, everr in the time of Verllegan, and undoubtedly long
before hi1n, had affuredly been bettered /;y the abouf]dance ef our dayly borrowed
waordes, and had received great ll:rengt.h and vigor from "fuch finn ingraftings;
·as they may be called, of Greek and Latin, into the main ftock, and ftrong
"branches of our antient Celt-Engli01 tongue : whenever, therefore, \Ye n1ay in·
future hear any· one cornplain of the weaknefs and poverty of the Englijh lan-
guage, it m;1y.well raife a fcruplc, wh.cther that con1plaint ought not rather to be·
attributed to a deficiency in the cornplai.nant, than to any deficiency in the·
Janguage itfolf *.
T he E11glijh language, in the hands of good authors, like keenell: w.eapons. iw
the hands of lkilful anill:s, is much 1norc povverful than what thoCe coinplainants.
are aware- of; \vitncfs the imrnortal \vritings of our bell: authors :- your· !>eft
authors; which are they ?-we have many noble and fublime writers; in. whofe·
works, altho' there 1nay be fome little imperfetl:ions, and inaccuracies. of ex.
preffion, yet certainly there- are no defeCts of Cuch 1nighty prevalence; as either
'to depreciaie thofe writings in point of fiile, whatever there may bein point of
thought; or give Cuch doughty. peda.n ts · any jull occafion to . calumni~te our·
ov.rn tongue.
It is true indeed the Englijh language is not an original ene ;-hut \vha t
then ?-an original language ought not furely to he admired', merely on- aacount
·of its originality; for the firft inventors of narnes, a11d. letters., muft onavil idably .

their primitive roots • : and therefore to admire them only on account of their
antiquity, (if there were .n o other excellence in them) would be as pn:poCterous
and ab(urd, as to prefer the appearance of a nalud Pifl, or Indian cbi!f. with .only
h is leathern, or his feathered c1ntlure round him, or one ef our antie.n t Brit i<h
chieftains, (before the arrival of the R o1nans) with his fkin puneturcd in a variety
of grotefque figures, and then ftained w ith woad to make him appear the more
horrible in ~var, to a modern prince, or potentate, drefi"ed in all the enfigas of
royalty :- the native nakcdncfs of the former might infpire an idea of terror;
~ut the comely dignity, and majeCtic appearance .of the latter, will alw:ays fuike
Us beholders w ith veneration and rcfpett. .

on a clofe eraminatioo, that our lanzJUgt is con!trucred chiefly on the balii of t~
GretA tongue ; but not on that alone, for it has been enriched and adorned by the
adoption of tht Latin, and many o ther foreign words likewife 1 anll thus in a
m anner have \Ve been taught at length to fpeak 11 illnguage trt;t 1ur -n.
T his noble con1pofition therefore ought fo far from being looked on aG a dif.
grace to our mother tongue, that thofc adoptions lllould rather be clleemed as
the Decus et tutamtn, the Ornament and drfance, of the E 11glijh lt1ngu11gt; and are
like fo many graceful decorations to a nob.le building, they add both ll:rength
and beauty to the edi fice.
In nations, cultivated and inlproved by letters, the works of thofc eminent
men, the Greek writers, \Viii always be read, and ~egarded with plcnfure ; foe
even now, a t tl1is dillaot period, ,.,hen the authors the1ufelves have long ago
ccafcd to inllruct 1nankind, their \vritings conCtitutc the bails, and are become
the foundation of all that knowledge and learning, \vhjcb can cultivate and adorn
the human ,n1ind; for, what is all the k nowledge and learning, which at prefent
(ubiifls among us I \vhat js it all, b ut a kno\vlcdge of the works, and the labors,
\vhich t~ofe truly S!cat 111.en have trunfn1itted to poJleri.ry; a~d which have been
(o happily, and fo 1uccefsfully adopted by our bell E11glijh ~onters: for the Greeks
and Rornans have been thole happy men, I 1nean in the more virtuous and re-
• fined periods uf their con1n1011wealths, who fpcnt their li ves and theii; talents in
the ll:udy of nature, anc! the \·arious operations of the human heart ; they de-
voted their hour~ to the fweet enjoyments o f fiudy, and employed tJ1e.r \vbole
lcifure, not in folly and ditlipation, but in the perluit and contemplation of \vh:a
' • Thus, for inO=inc·t , our S:a~on ::!nce_fiors had not n:.mcs i11 their own tongue for fevt ral things;
th2t is, they had t}1c thitlgs, but 1.l,ey bad no appcllati01l$ fc)1 them.,. ;ir1d therefore \Ve rt forc~d to r.x-

'Ms good', wb11t was juft, what was bone1l; and thefe delightful fubjeds they ·
delivered in language fo exalted, and in fentiments Co truly fublime, that the
ftudy of their· \vorks is become.. as it ought to be, the darling delight of our
yonoger years, and the more Cerious employment of .our maturer hours; arid the
man,. who engages himfelf in the riper periods of his life in the contemplation·
of tlleir.· wofks-, wilt always enrich his mind, and improve his ideas, i,n propor-
tion to the progrefs he makes in their writings ; they being the ftandard of true
eloquence, and· the criterion of refined tafte : the fchools which the· Romans un·
doubtedly planted· an1ong us, and th.e l'eminarics which they founded, tho' riow
utterly unknown,. were,. as. I mar call tlicm, the cr·a~les and nurferies of our·
tl'Wfl tongue. · ·
WhoeveG tticn do<ts but confider our language, as l>eing thus compiled· from· all:.
die elegances of the Greek and Latin poets, orators, and hi1lorians,., cannot·
llut adm ire and efteem it the n1ore, for being thus beautified and embelli01ed
with every ornament of antiquity, and modern polite literature; and as ·England
is the. La11d of liberty, Co is her language the Yoice of freedom ; and lhe need not.
doubt but it w.ill make a confpicuous ngure in- the province of letters-, and thine·
11Vith all. the fplendor and perfpicuity of writing, and be read;, and ftudied; fo•
fong as· there are me11 of lear.ning,. and men of reading in the' world *.
The many noble and bold coinpounds; the ftro11g and impetuous· flow o~·
epithets; the fublime ufe of metaphors r and the confiant· fl ight of poetical
figures, \vhich our /11nguage Co r,eadily admit'S of.. and feen1s to be fo peculiarly
adapted for. ; and above all, the infinite nuniber of \vords, that have been fo glo-
r.ioufly borrowed &om the peliteft nations of> the \vorld, both· antient and modern,.
in all the atts and fciences ;. have given i.t fuch a fluency and rapidi ty of ex~
prcf!ion, as may be very juftly con1p:tred to a noble and 1naj,eftic river, enlarged
and augmented by all the nurnereus ftrea1ns tliat flo,v into it, and render it capa-
ble ~f conveying and diffuling fertility and plenty,. oxeP thofe extenfive refiluns.
thro' which it may direct its courfe. .
· So far. then from complaining of our Englijh language; fOr being , tlius com-
pounded of fo m:iny other.s, vve acknowledge it the peculiar happincfs of au,...
mother tongue, that it · has been thus adorned and enriched with fuch an infinity.
of words, adopted and tranfplanted inte her. native foil; where they have florithcd:
fo long, and profpered fo moch, wliere they fia¥e e1ken fuch ftrong hold, and
caught (uch deep root, that they. arc in a mannell become her adopted fons,.
and ought not any longer to be looked on as foreigners, and a~aliens.
Na)'., it ·would nor be any oftentation to affirm, t~at oilr modern Englijh lan-
guage by far exci;lls the nlodcrn Greek, as it is at prefent fpoken,., and written, if·
indeed written at all,, in its own native country;. \vhich is now inhabited. by '-"
race of men, \vho, tho' defcended fron1 their. great progenitors. and tho' living in
the very fame climate, yet are no\v reduced to fuch a wretched· ftare of ig,norance:
and flavery, being in fubjell:ion to thofe more than· favage b:ubarians to ·all ' litera- ·

Vlll P R E F A ·C E.
S!lch is the mighty change \vhich that noble lang1,1age, the Greek, has under•
gol}e in its .own climate;
Tantum revi longinqua valet mutare vetullas !
~nd fo trne i,s the obfervation, that it has fared wit-h languages, as it has fared,
with al~ the .other arts and fcienccs ; they have had their infancy and minority, as
v1eU 2s t!b.eir n1aturity and mgnhood ; and then, after having endured for a cer-
tain ·period in their moll: florilhing and profperous llate, they have declined and
fallen q.\vay, till at !all they are beco1ne in a manner exO:inct, and may no1,,. with
tr.ue pn~prie ty be called the dead languages; for even thofe two 1noO: noble
tongues, that ever yet graced the dignity of human elocution, the Greek and.
Latia, h ave been in all tbefe different fiates; as may be eafi ly feen in the writings
pf th.e ir antient l:nv.s and records ; in thofe of a maturer date; and i n their prc-
fent ,ftate of b:irbarifm : and yet, what is fiill more extraordinary, both tbofc
'ian guages are continued down to u s, even to this prefcnt time, \Vith the utmoll
purity a11d perfeC\ion, .I mean in the writings of their poets, orators, and hifio-
·rians, notwithfiandi.ng they have fo long outlived their primitive pronunciation :.
f,or the '''orks of thofe etninent Greeks and Romans are totally different from tbofe
.two langu ages, as now fpoken by the p refent inhabitants of tbo(e countries. .
Such furpriling revolutions have thofe two tall pi llars, thofe firn1 and graceful
:f~ pporters of the Englijh languag~. undergone; not indeed as to their internal and
o riginal firuch1re, but as to their prefent pronunciation in the n1odei:n dialect
of their own clin1ates : for, whoever were now to vifit the lhauered remains of
·1hofc cities, where once they florilhed in fo much pe1fefrion; \Vboever were
now to go "ro Sparta, where Lycurgus wrote; or to Athens, \vhere Demojlhenes
pronounced his th1indering orations; whoever were now to vifit imperial Rom~,
\vherc '{ully, and where Virgil, and where Horace lived ;-would be afiopilhed at
1he mighty change, which bas happened in thofe places, and to thofe languages, -
\vithin that ihort fpacc of time. ·
But, without going fo far frorp ho1nc, let any one but confider what a migl)ty
alccration h as been wrough ~, and \Vhat a wonderful change has been produced,
in the original language even of this our own iOand: with th is ooly dif-
ference, that i n th e l-ora1er infiances, the change bas happened for the \vor(e; but
•n 1he latter jt has happened for the beuer; and 01e,vs the impioven1ent which
has been 1nade in the original la11guage q1· Britain :-the original language did I
fay? \v hich '-'' as that ?-we h ave bad fo many invaders, and been opprelTed by fo
1na.ny intruders, that it w~uld be difticult to fay, which was the firfi and origi-
'!)a l ~ang uage fp(lk en on th·is iJland.
. L et th e ·nrO: bowcyer have been whatever it 1nigbt, ·i t is certain ther~: is but
y.o;ry little, if any,_ of it rctnaining at this day; and what at prcfcnt pretends to
t,haJ originality, is found to be fo harl11, Jo diffon~ nt, fo rough, and fo dif-
cordant, as Ccarce to be underO:ood ; ap :I that the very little of it \Vhich i~.
~ntell.igible; j.s Co .far altered and transformed, that was an antient Briton to rife
up among us at this pi;r.iod, he wou ld JlOt be able to undedland bis own n101ber

\vords that ha;ve . be~n ·adopted· intq it fr9r:n the Greek and Ron1an languages,
(other adoptions are b.u t ·trivial iri comparifon with them) as Englilbmen, and as
:fi:holars,' let us cultivate the ftudy of thofe t\vo' languages, and we lhall prefently
• find, that by having acquifed a greater degree of knowledge in them, we thall
ha;.re acquired at the. fame time a greater degree of knowledge i·n our. ow" ; by
ob(erving the wonderful co.nnexion, and. the clofe conformity there is betwc:en
all three . . · . ' ..
· Having faid thus much on the general texture of the Englijh tongue, 'it may
no"' be proper to give.. an hiftorical account of thofe feveral languages, \vhich
chiefly conftitute the bafis of the Engli'lh in particular; an inveftigation that
may prove the more entertaining, as it will in fome 1neafure enable us to account
for that great 1•ariety of cxpreffion, which is to be found in modern Englijh writing,
..both ·poetry, and h~ftory, beyond that of any other modern tongue; becanfe it is
:con1pounded 0£ more. · · . . .
The bafis then of the Englijh' language having been founded chiefly on the fix
following; viz. .
I. The Hebrew, or Phirni,:ian ;
II. The Greek ; "
.• III. The Latin, or ltalittn•;
. ' IV. The Celtic, or French;
V. The Saxqn, '.{eut.on~~ ·or G;rn'ian; and,
• VI. ' The l<"tla11dic, and other N!Jrthern dialt•tl1;
permit me to fay fomething on the antiquity of thefe fcvenl languages, and ihew
the connexion, which the different nations and pe9pie who fpokc them, have
had \Vith this our iiland : And,
I. Of the HEBll E\V'; or PK OEN 1·c1AN Tongue.

'
The very few 11•ords in our ,language, that are immediately defcended to us
from the l-lebrew or Phrenician tongues, wou ld fcarcc have ju!lified me in rank-
ing thofe languages among the lix . that principally conftitute the bafis of our
own ; but, fin ce the Pha:nicians trafficked very early in this illand, no doubt
there have be~n a great number of their words adopted into our language, thro'
rhe channel of other nati9ns_; but npt be~ng mylelf conver(ant enough in thofe
or the oriental tongues, to difcover all of them, le~ me hope, that whenever the

Nimrod hcgan to exalt liimfelf, circiter, about 2218 ; which is only ·one year be-
fore the _birth of ~e11, in· 2.217; but this is molt proba~ly:· a tranfpofition of the

From the He6rew, let us now turn our thoughts on the antiquity of the Greel
;language. ·
- .. . . II. Of the G R E E K.
We find by the chronological Tables to the Univerfal Antient J!fflory, that the
Egyptians, about the time of Abraham, colonized Greece, under /F,gialt!1J1, \vho
founded the kingdom of Sicyon (o early as the year 2079 before Chritl, which is
, ·about .83 before the birth of Ab~aham in 1996; or 159 before his dcfccnt in to
: Egypt in 1920 t :-and ~at th.ey fent another colony inro Grec;ce, under Inachur,

befure the date of fuch a manufcript •
. Perhap~ here it may be a1ked, by what channel, and at what period, cao we
fuppofe the Greek language 1hould have made its way into Britain ?-to this·it
' may be anfwored, by n1eans of the Druidi, Celt1, and Gauls; concerning whom,
tho' we have no authentic hiftory before Ctrfar •; yet, that · there were a people
who· inhabited this ifiand ·for ages prior to the coming of Ctefar, is a fact that is
feun'ded on truth ; for the Romani at their landing faw it \Vas not 'only inhabited,
but inhabited by a people of a very warlike race ; as we iliall find prefently in
the Fourth article :-but let us firft endeavour to trace out thofe inhabitants, and
fee, ,whetber they were the tirft men, \vho ever peopled this iiland.
· That thofe inhabitants of Bf'itain, whotn the Romans found here, were a ·race
of Ce/lie Gauls, is a fuppofition very probable; but it is very far from being pro-
bable to fuppofe, that thofe Celti were the tirft fet of men who inhabited this
· oountry, nonvith£l:anding their proximity to it : and Cerfar hin1felf acknowledges
thus much f, becaufe \Ve do not find, nor indeed do \Ve know enough of thefe
antient Brito"'• or even of thofc Celtic Gauli, ·to alrcrt, that in thofe early ages of
-ihe world, they had any kind of lhipping, or made ufc of any fort of vefiels, to
.carry on the leall kind of trade or traffic, by navigation, with other diilant parts
•of the world ; for we do not read that the Briton~, Celts, or Gauli, for any long
period before C~far's time, \Vere mariners; they might have ha<! barges, and
•fmall craft enough to crofs over to each other: but the Pbtl!nit·ion1, Greelu, and
·flther Eaflern nations, a.re known to have been early navigators, and to have made
;.Jong voyages : therefore, \vhat M ilton fays in the beginning of ·his Hillary of
England, before the arrival of the Romani, is undoubtedly jull; that " relations,
~often accounted fabulous, have been afterwards found to contain in then1 many
footll:eps and relicks of fomething true ·: "-this fo1uething therefore is the only
"fad required : -permit me then to proceed with his narration. · ·
•• This ifiand," fays he, p. 8, " might have been inhabited before the Flood;
at leaft this we are .aifured of from fcripture, that Gomer and ':ftroan, two fons of
'.Japheth, the eldell: foo of Noah, journeyed Jeafurely fro1n the Eafl, and peopled
the Weftern and Nor.th-wefteru cli1nes :"- for by their defcendents wtl'e the ifies

th is illand peopled, very foon after the F lood, by Mejech, the 5th fon of J apheth,
\\·ho is fiirnatned Sainitbei and Dii: he is faid to h~ve begun his reign in this

natural for him, after having fubdued the Gauls, to turn his eyes againft the
Brito11i, their · aifociates : accordingly, .in book iv. fee. 20, he fays, '' ex.igui

advanced the more No[thward) the enen1y dre'v their chiefefl: aids from t hence:-
and indeed it is but natural to fuppofe, that the Britons aflifi.ed .the Gau!~ againtl:
Crefar; not only from their proximity of fituation, but fro1n their mutual co11-
nexions, and reafonable apprehenfions, that if they did not, the Gauls 1night at
Jail be fubducd by the Roman power; they therefore affified the1n; but, not-
\vithfranding all t heir affiftance, the Gauls. \Vere vanquifl1ed : Caifar therefore,
n O\V being a.t Jcifucc from his.Gallic wars, feems to have refolved on his ex.pedition
againfl: Britain.
Since this was.the real fituation of things, in order to facilitate his approach,
he fent a vefiel beforehand to reconnoitre the coaft; and the 'firll Roman on re-

Work itfelf; tho' Camden, and Milton, 129, tell us, that the "Saxons are thought
by good ~ritcrs to. be dcfcended of t~e SactE, a ki'nd of Scytbian i11 the North
of Afia ; thence called -Sacqfan~, cori\raCled to Saxons, or Jons ef SactE, who with
a flood of other Northern (Aliatic) nations, came ioto Europe, and uling pir-,1cy
frorn Denlnark all. along tlrofe feas, polfelfed all that coafi of Gern1an y, and the
Netherlands, \Vbich took thence the naJne of Old Saxony."
· Probable as this opinion n1ay at ·firft 1ight apptl':lr, it does not fcen1 to be the true
one; .foi., "to exan.1ine the lykclyhood of· this," fays Verftegan, 18, "wee are to
note, that the Saxons did neuer. wryte, or call ,thc1nfelues Saxons, but anciently
Seax111; and the fyllable en, at the end of ivoords, dotf1 fcrue inft.ead of .r, to
figni!y the plural number; as in 6rerbren, children, oxen :"-and then in p . 21
and 2, he endeavours to fhcl\v, tli~t they \vere th'e A·borigines, or natives of
Germany; -.vhich is only conftlling his ig_no~ance of their origin; but however .
he :tdn1irs1 that : they' received a different appellation. t:Com their neighbours in.
the Cimbrica Cherfonefus, and, for the fake of diftinCtion, were C·alled Saxonr
ftom the we:lpons they wore : only here again; as '"e obferved above, the appella-
tion is .Greek; as will be found in the \Vork itfelf. •
To· pr91•e now the lhort-lived tranquillity of human affairs, when they rely for
protetHon on · foreign arms, and call over" foreigners to defend the1n, the. Saxons
fron1 being. protectors, very foon bacame invaders, and prefcntly fcnt over for
five thoufand mor~ of their country1nen ; and then entering into an alliance
with tire P.iC'ts·and Scots, thofe very people \v hom they came over on purpofe to
drive out, · turned their (words againfi the Britons, thofc very people whon1 they
had been invited over to defend !-To folve this intricacy, Verftegan' feems to.
bint, that" the Britons were ·gro"-'tl• into great auerfion frotn their kyng, and 110
li:fs hatred v.nto the Saxons; . feeing that kyng Vortiger, ·a Britilh kyng, had
married Rowena, a Saxon lady,. and 11eice to one of their generals, and had left
liis lawful '"Yf.*''.. .
This· indecd·,vould have been provocation enough to have. ju(lified a revolt in
the Britons, and for them to have joined the Piets and Scots againft the Saxons;
or at lcaft a·n indu·cemen t fufficiently ftrong to .have prompted the Saxons to have
adhered to the intereft of their holt, united to them now the more firmly by the
bonds.of wedlock; and confequentJy ·to have fuppoited his caufe againft that of
bis 'rebellious fubjeets : on the contrary, the good old ~entleman hi1nfclf .tells us,.
p. 1 30, that " on May dny, both . Vortiger and .J'feng1ft n1et on ~alilburie plalne,
either of then1 acco111pagned \vitlr his thiefefi lgrdes anii followers; and there
kyng Hingijltu prepared for them a fcaft ; ar\d after. the Britans .were wcl whitled,
\Yith wyne, he fell to taµn ting and girding at thcrn ; w.hcrevpon lilowes infued;
and the Britifl1 nobilliric there prefen t, becing in all three hundreth, were all of
thc1n Oaine; as VVilliam -0f Malmefburie reporteth; tho' other~ 1nake the num-
ber more. "
\>Yhatever tr'u! h there may be 'i n this narration, the condu"Ct of the Saxons ap-
pears rather perfidiou ~, an~ fee1n~ lO \Vear the face of treachery : rerhaps the'
Sa.xons at this entertainm~nt n1ight have defpifed the we~k nefs both o prince and

to this i!latid J if tlley WCfC fenfible of ·a,ny fuch title ;,..-but let their clame Of"
their tide have b'cen ever fo juft, th is certainty inuft have ·b eta a v~ry·unjuftifiable .
!11et~oli of vi11dicating it ; and .let the reafon for this n1alracii:: ~lie been \'l'ba~ever
1t m1glu, the confequences of It lVC:re very ·dreadfuJ to the nation; for-- this u an
undoubted fact, that for near two hupdred years following, this kingdom was a
rontinued fc::cne of defolation )!nd confufion; the Saxons however pre•ail.ed in the
end;. and the few Britons, who furvived thofe traubl~. betook themfelves for
refuge to the wild. ~d cr11ggy mo.untains of Corn,val and of Wales.
But, notwithfiandlng the Suons had thus gained firm footing and fure ella-
blUhment on this iiland, fuch an cv-c11t ought not certainly to have been deemed a
fufficieilt .foundation · for Vcrftegan . to aficrt, as he does in p. 188, that " the
Saxon or Teutpnic remains tlle ground of our language, and that it bas had for
its original rio other fource :"-in which alfertlon he is moft probably miftaken •
for. if conquefi &lone be ~ fufficient argument for the eftablilhing of any lan-
guage, it might be worth while to afk him, and all our other Saxon a<ivocates,
\vhat language they can fuppofc, and allo\v, that the inhabitants of this illand
. [poke, after they had been converfi1ilt with the Romans for five hundred years be-
fore the Saxons wete invited over to Britain ?-what could it have been, but the
Brltiflt, impi:oYed by the Roman ? for, as Milton ackno\vledges, p. ·60, " the
Romans beate us into fom civilitie :" and, to bring the argument .nearer to his own
times 1 if the Saxon or Teutonic was the ground of our language, bccaufc they
drove out the Br-i,tons, •then in his own times the N onnan mufl: have· been the
.ground of our:\an·guage, becaufe the Normans drove out the Saxons: in lhort;
the lang\lage of tliis iiland is a mixture of all thefe; being compounded of theft"o
and many others : but the ground-work of our modern Englilh tongue is Greek;
and fo it was even in the days of Verftegan.
If then there are any words in our language, at this day to he found likewife
m the Saxori tongue, they feein probably to be fuch, as they found 11ere, cfla-
\llllhed and manumifed long before their arrival, and perhaps were adopted by
.themlelves afterwards; and what makes this fuppofitiou the more probable is,
that moft of thofe words, which other et:ymologifts have imagined to be Saxon,
and many of the Saxon words themfelves, are really in the courfe of this \V'ork
found to be Greek •; and therefore, that thofe ety1nologifts, who would derive
thofe words only from the Saxon tongue, do really flop lhort of their true de-
rivation by at lea!l two thoufu.nd years : for what Cafaubon fays in p. 378, is moll
juftly true : " ut dicam libere, quod fentio : pauca puto verc et genuine Anglica
five Saxonica, i.e. vet.era, reperiri ; qure (iis exccp.tis qure Latinre funt originis)
fi rite, et diligenter expendantur, non poflint ad Grrecos fontes revocari." .

th~fe two or three centuries lafl: palt, as we ver-y happily. find there has been in
our, ow·n nation, I have not as yet been able to learn ; but this is a truth that
may be very fafcly admitted, that if there are any number of words •in our lan-
guage, in common with the inhabitants .of Iceland, DenmarR, Norway, Sueden,
Germany, or any of the other Northtrn dialel:7s, it will .be evidently found, in the
'courfe of conful ting the following Work, that they are either all, or moll: of
them, derived, ..both to them, and . to ourfelves, thro' the medium of.. the Greek
• and Latin languages; thofe· two being 'the origin ·or chief compofirion of n°ioft
European tongues, except in foll'\e fe,v particulars; and . it. is from thofe two
languages chiefly, that \Ve are polI'etfed of all that copiouinef.; of expreffion, and
all tliat fluency of ' wor~s, which are to be found in the writings of our bell
poets, and the fpeech~s of our beft orators : ~nd indeed it is no \von dei-_ that thefe
two lhould be the main ·fourccs of t~e Englijh language, fince, as \VC have fecn,
t he Romans had been fuch po\verful act9rs in· the·Britilh aff:'lirs, for 'five hundred.
years before the arrival of the' Saxons; and that very probably the y reeks had
,been here at leall a thoufand ·)'.ears before'the Romans. . ·.. ·

Whenever therefore we find any words at prefent iubfifting in ou r language,
fin1ilar in found, but. undoubtedly the f.'Ulle in Jigni6cation, or very nearly fo, with
others in · the Greek tongue, why lhould we at all hefitate to deduce the!r origin
from thence; or be alhamed as· it were at finding our modern Englijh derived from
lilfJ antient and fo honourable a nation ?-why · then do our etymologifis ftop
~ort of ·.this· great fountain, and endeavour to deduce their derivations from the
muddy dialects, and impure branches of all th,e harlh, grating, Northern tongue•.
infiea·g of tracing, following'; and perfuing their etymologies thro'" the n1ain
courfe of that moll: noble language, the Greek, \vhich would infallibly lead them
to the true origin of -their own ?
The ·fiudy and cultiva~ion therefore of the Greek and Roman la~guages
would be a far more rauonal, and a far 1nore advantageous e1nploymeot . for
Englilhmen-, as Englilhmen, than the addrdling themfclves fo n1uch to. the
French tongue; which has arlfen of late to·fo great a degree, that they have in
a manner almofi totally negledcd the cultivation of their own mother tongue, to
adopt that of foreigners:- this fondnefs for the French, even fo high up as the
times of Edward the Conft;iJr, in ·1051, \Vas carried to fo great a height, that it .
ilCtually pavei:I the way for the Norman contjt«ft, as Milton obferves in p. 330;
" then began the Englifh to lay afide their own antient cufiomes, and in many
things to imitate ·Fr~ncb manners; the··g reat peers to fpeak Frmch in their houJes;
in Frmc./J to write their bills, and letters, as a great piece of gentility, a!h an1ed
of their own ; a prefage of their fubjeeticin ihortly to that people,' whofe falbions
and language they affeaed fo fiavilhly :"-how fatally applicable may this. pre-
dietion be to. ourfelves, even at this· prefe,.iit period !-'' if thefe were the caufes,"
continues ·he, p. 357, "of fuch mifery and thraldo1n to thofe of our_anceil:ors, at
the Norman conquefi, w·i th what better cloCe can be concluded, -than here in fit
feafon to remember this age, in the m.id.ll of her fecurity, to fear from li!Cc vice.,
\vithout due amendment, the revolution of like calacnities !" ·
To furn up this argument ; let us jufi take a fuort retrofpeCtive view of the
foregoi ng events, and their dates ; which will moil: evidently prove the great
antiquity of the Greek tongue ; and at the fame time lhcw us the periods very
nearly when the other European languages co1nmenced in this iiland:

of.oitr lailgt111g~. by having mid our bell authors; boch of aotient and modern
ti'!les ? it is hardly ·poffible to {uppo{e, that a yet greater fund cm be opened to
the minds of fuch readers, 'who fttm to be already fraught, with all the kno\v-
lcdgc that the Englijh langw.~ is capable of beftowing; and yet there is another
branch of fcience in the fiudy of 01tr _,, trmgue, that may alford even them, if not
a farther infight in to it, at lcaft may afford them fomc a1nufernent in the perfuit
of it; and partic.ularly if novelty has any ell'ed:: and it is etymology will furnilh
ua with this new difcovery; for there are nurnberlefs words, that arc fan1iliar to
our eyes, familiar to our ears, familiar to our tongues; but, notwithilanding all
this eafy fa1niliarity, we may not perhaps know from whence they arc deri'l.led;
and why th,ey carry that particular meaning, preferably to any other; or why
perhaps they fornetimes, tho' but feldom, carry a dilfetent meaning, and \Vear a
different appearance from the original language; we all know that things arc
called fo and fo; but do we know why they are called fo ?-it is etyfflohgy will
inform us, by giving us the original. .
This knowledge will furcly afford us the greater pleafure, beca.ufe it will alford
us ai it were a double infight into the' powers _of each word 1 viz. the common
acctptatio11, and tbt tkrivathu flnfe 1 that is, the fenfc it borrows from the original
language ; and from this comparifon will fo1neti~cs arife a new idea of that
word; which, if we had not acquired before, mull give a new pleafure to the-
imagination : many inftances of which n1ight be · here. produced, were it not fot
fear of lengt~ening this Introdudion too far: one ho\vever lball jull be men-
tioned; viz. the word Coroner, or, ·a.s 'it is commonly called crow11er, which has
'been fuppofcd by fomc to 6gnify an ·officer belonging to·the cro'll111, or appointed by.
the crown; and undoubtedly derived from the'Latin word corona; a crow11,, or corontt :.
but (to thew the powers of etymology) let me obfcrve, that the words crowltrlf·
• and coroner, have no more connexion with a crown, or d . coronet, tban with a
11ighti11gnle, or a blackbird; as will be moll evidently lhewn in the dcrivati.o o 0£
die word Coroner in the Work itfelf. · ·
.As !o 1he former of thcfe t\VO branches, which concerns the definiti(Jn efW(Jrd;,,,
our bell Engli!J1 di8:ionary-writers are ceTtainly the heft guides: but when they,
·attempt any thing beyond the mn1ning of a \Vord, and pretend to give the Jeri-
'llntion of it, they attempt ~ province they 'have but too often failed in; they ca11>
ieadlly inforn1 .us whtlt it is, but they feldoot inform us truly whence it is 1 for
their deriv11tions are generally eit11er very erroneous, or very defective; they cithet
give us a falfe deri'l.lation, or de~ive it from a language, which was it(elf but a
· derivative; they feem to have 'aimed at on ly pointing out the nearefr language,.
from which they fuppofed we took it; not confidering that that very language itJelf
took it from Jo me other, whjch took it from a third; and confequently. was not
rhc original, but' only the dtrivative of a derivative: and therefore certainly they.
ought not to have ftopt, in (o .indolent a manner, at the fi'rll lane;uage they could
couvenientJy catch .hold on ; but to have traced it fome~hing Jar.tber• and. have
given us, if poffible, the original.
• L~t the channel or channels then (for there undoubtedly are many) thro"
which the. words of our 1R1Jtkrn Englijh have been deJ:ived to .ns,_ be. whatevec
they 01ay, RtJman, Gothic, Celtlc, Sdxo11, Teutonic, or Icelandic, ftill it is the Greek
11hne tba~ is the true bafiS' of the Englijh t11ngtu'; for it matters not, as we ob-
fc:rvcd above, from whot,n we bor;ow any word; if thofc, from whom we·

borro~ it, borrowed it from thofe. who borrowed.from the. Roma.ps, who bor.,
rowed it from the Greeks ; then confcqucntly the Greek is the only radix of
that word ; notwitt_ifranding the various dialeds it may have pafi"ed tbro', before it
came to be adopted by our(elvea •. . . · .
Every Englifhman undoubtedly thinks he under.Rands the :Eng)ilh language,
becau(c he lpeaks it, and is able to rnake ufe of it for all the purpofes of cc;>m-
mon life J and this may, and dQCs anfwer all his exigences; and t.hat is' enough
for hin1 : be it {o. Many then may content themfelvcs \vith .the bare knowlcd.ge·
of a woTd, and think it a fufficient acquifition. if they know tht gm"al ~tan1ng .
of it ; and indeed fuch a knowledge is fu lly fllfficient for their contratled fpher.e :
-but an. etymologift is not fatislictl with the bare, {triiplejignification of a word,
he would wi<h to know the radical formation of it; he will not content himfelf
with the mere knowledge, that any word jignijies fuch or Cuch a thing; he woul~
be glad to know fomething farther; he would willingly be informed, whether it.

pleafu.re of tra.cing that wonl, thro' feveral other ·Janguages, which had adopted
it before' us, till we arrive at the great original, from which llll took it; and
thus by exploring and fearching the Jerruatirm of each word, we are brought at
lall .to the true fountain head; and in this fcarch, it is etymology will lead us
furc, bf !hewing us the connexion, and (if it may be fo called) the confanguinity,
that fubfifts between the original, and its derr.;ative; between the mother, and her
riaugh'ttr; between the parent, and her qffipring.
· 'Then let not this be looked on as a vain and trifling ll:udy, or only a harmlefs
and innocent amufement; it is more•: it is a l\udy, in which the wifell: 1nen,
'in all ages, and nations, have taken a pleafure to inveft.lgate; Cuch as Ar!Jlotle,
Plato, Juliur Pollux, SuiJas, Hdjchius, Philoxtnus, E1tjlathiu1, and many others in
·Greek: Marcur Terentius Yarro, Sext111 Pompeius F~flus, Cato, Cicero, ~intilian,
Jo.f. and ·y. Ct.e.f. Scaliger, !ftdor111, Joba~nes F_uugtt·us, Ger. 'and If. Vo)ft_~s, F'_a!Ji~,
'Gefner, Hmry and RQ6ert Stephenr, Mertc Cajau6on, the learned Francijcus .Junius,
·and among ow: own ·countrymen, Sir Hen. Spelman, Ray, Somner, Sheringham,
·Hickt1, ·Skinnrr., -41.'hwazits, and Lye, in Latin: Cqfou/Jon and Junius indeed were
Ioreigners, and th_ercfore excufable fi>r writing on the Englijh language in Latin ;
'but for Spelman, R.~· Somner, S"1eringbam, Hickes, Skinn~r. Thwaites, and Lyt,
m
who·werc all Englijbmen, to write on 'tht Englijh language Latin, is really fome-
·thing "unaccountable, and unnatural ; for they have by that means in a great
meafurc defeated 'the ·very intention -Of their works, by confining them in a man-
·ncr to ·the .reaaing and inll:ruttion of only a few learned men, who fcarce ftood
:in nec8. ·of"their affillance, inll:ead of dilfufing their .w ritings into the hands of'
oevery Englilhman; and thereby rendering their labors of public utility.
Now, tho' it be impoffible in a work of this nature, to avoid giving the wo.rds
-Cf ~-Cevera! authors, who have been, and muft be confulted in fuch an under-
·taking, in ~he different languages they then1felves wrote; yet care has been taken
>throughout this work, to give the meaning and interpretation of almoll every
·article in Englijh. .
-F rom "hence \vill naturally nrife another utili-ty in c6nCulting the following
·w ork 1 and that is, the great variety of Jjnonymous txprej/£ons that have been made
. ufe of, in order to explain any article under contideration : but let it always be
·remembered, that Jjnonymous terms and definitions are very far from amounting
~o Jerivationr.
Works of tllis nature are certainly never intended for pcrufal; for no man \vould
'willingly {et himfelf down to read, much JeCs to \vrite, a dicuonary: but only to
·confult it, whenever a word n1ay occur in reading, writing, or in conver(ation .: it
is the duty therefore of every dittionary compiler, and particularly of an Etymologi-
,cal Dictionary, to give the reader all the information and fatisfattion in bis power.
The office of a tnere dictionary writer is often but a very irkfome talk ; and it
m:t¥ .,veil .be wondered, how Cuch men of genius, as Come of thofe gentlemen, and
