It is divided into four parts; namely, ORTHOGRAPHY, ETYMOLOGY, SYNTAX, and PROSODY. PART I. ORTHOGRAPHY. The word ORTHOGRAPHY is derived from oplos, sound, and ypapw, I write. ORTHOGRAPHY teaches the nature and powers of letters, and the just method of spelling words. Orthography is a very interesting science, and well worth the attention of the student; but, as it does not enter into the matter of this treatise, further notice of it in this place is unnecessary. PART II. ETYMOLOGY. The word ETYMOLOGY is derived from ervμos, origin, and λoyos, a word. ETYMOLOGY treats of the different sorts of words, their various modifications, and their derivation. |
