'Mr. FARRAR has done what no one before him has attempted, and has filled up in a very masterly manner a place that had been too long vacant in the popular literature of science. . . . His book will be read with pleasure by those to whom the subject is wholly new, and will command the respect of proficients in philology. As a popular introduction to the science it is among the best books in any language, and is unique in our own.' SPECTATOR.

ἑτερογνωμοσύνην.
