Excerpt from A Hand-Book of the English Language: For the Use of Students of the Universities and Higher Classes of Schools In 1840, Dr. Latham published the first edition of his "English Language." Not satisfied with the favor with which the public received the work, he continued his labors so assiduously in the department which he had chosen, that the second edition published in 1848, was almost entirely rewritten. The third, published in 1850, was likewise revised and greatly enlarged, in the light of the constantly advancing investigations of the cultivators of general as well as English Philology. Immediately after the publication of the third edition of his great work, he commenced the preparation of the compendious treatise now given to the American public. It contains the entire results which have been arrived at in his larger treatises, accompanied with sufficient discussion and detail to enable the student to avail himself of the authors method and sources of investigation, without bewildering his mind by reasonings which those only, who are somewhat familiar with Comparative Philology, are able to follow.
