Be our scientific conclusions and our philological studies what they may, it is well for every man to consider solemnly such truths as these; it is above all a duty for one who writes a book, and that book a book on words. And therefore, gentle reader, I will add this word only about myself,--that before writing I have read diligently, and what I have written I have striven to write honestly, loving the truth and aiming at truth only, endeavouring not to forget even in the midst of controversy that it is by a man's words that he is justified and by a man's words that he is condemned.' 6 299 BOOKS CONSULTED. IT may be a convenience to students of this subject, if I add a list of those books which, among many others, I have expressly consulted in this work, and to which I have constantly referred. The extent to which I am indebted to the various authors will be indicated in the notes. I have never consciously omitted my fullest acknowledgments when I am indebted to others for any facts, thoughts, or expressions which I have adopted. There is no book in the following list which I have not myself read through, or frequently used; and I have omitted many to which more cursory reference was made. GREEK. PLATO, Cratylus. (Ed. BEKKER.) ARISTOTLE, Rhetoric and Poetics.
