WITHIN the last twenty or thirty years great progress has been made in the dominion of language as well as in all the departments of the arts and sciences. Before this time, the classical languages were a separate branch of study and of learned investigation, but by the efforts of Bopp and his school, they are now acknowledged to be members of one large family, the organic forms of which mutually supply and explain each other.

WITHIN the last twenty or thirty years great progress has been made in the dominion of language as well as in all the departments of the arts and sciences. Before this time, the classical languages were a separate branch of study and of learned investigation, but by the efforts of Bopp and his school, they are now acknowledged to be members of one large family, the organic forms of which mutually supply and explain each other. Most idioms of Italy, even, are shown to be members of one common stock, by the import ant labors of Au frecht, Kirchhof, Mommsm, and other learned men, and the Latin itself, far from being any longer regarded as a mere mongrel composition of Greek and barbarian elements, is now universally admitted, by the learned, to be of the same independent growth among the other Italic dialects, as the Hebrew among the Semitic. Highly important results, more- over, have been attained by the critical examination of Latin texts made by Ritsckl, Lhmann, Fleckeisen, and others, while floods of light have been shed on the whole history of the development of the Latin lan- guage, by the investigations of Diez, Fuch, and other philologists, who, starting with the Latin in the latest stazcs of its existence, have traced from it the begin- nings of the modern Romdnce tongues. Yet, with all this mass of new information, as our oldest Latin manuscripts were mere amended copies, dating from the times after Christ, many questions concerning the original orthography and pronunciation of the Latin remained still unsettled. New means were therefore devised by our scholars to supply these deficiencies...
Autorenporträt
Thomas Carlyle was a British writer, historian, and philosopher who was born on December 4, 1795, and died on February 5, 1881. He was from the Scottish Lowlands. He was one of the most important writers of the Victorian age and had a big impact on art, literature, and philosophy in the 1800s. Born in Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, Carlyle went to the University of Edinburgh and invented the Carlyle circle while there. When the arts course was over, he worked as a schoolmaster and studied to become a minister in the Burgher Church. He gave up on these and other things before he decided to write for the Edinburgh Encyclopaedia and work as a translator. Early on, he was successful by introducing little-known German literature to English readers through translations, his 1825 book Life of Friedrich Schiller, and review essays he wrote for a number of magazines. His first big book was called Sartor Resartus and came out between 1833 and 1834. After moving to London, his book The French Revolution (1837) made him famous, which led to the collection and reissue of his writings as Miscellanies.
