' .J it ' i o LUa to The history of every science may be divided into three tolerably ( dis tinct and well defined stages : 1st. Fact; 2nd. Theory j3rd. Application. It is true that, in some instances, preconceived theories, or rather hy potheses; hare given investigators material aid in the discovery of facta. Ia the discovery of vKepler'aXiawgj? for example, hypothesis played a very important part; and , in Xiever rier's splendid discovery it performed do mean task ". before the ( stranger planet wai found "hovering oa the verge of oar analysis.' ;l . Notwithstanding .Sir Isaac New ton's celebrated . boast, . "Hypotheses non Jingo?, this very practical philo sopher is indebted to these despised hypotheses for no small part of his immense reputation. ; . . ..... ..... These cases, however, do, not conr flict with the statement , with which we set oat-; for no sane philosopher ever framed a working hypothesis without some sort of regard , to es tablished facts, or to what are be lieved to be such. Even Poe's Eure lea proceeds upon the supposition that somethings are -settled; and Ralph Waldo Emerson's wildest va garies cannot afford, utterly to ignore the recognized results of previoaa investigation. ,r ? In attempting a brief sketch of the history of Linguistic Science, we shall proceed upon the plan above marked oat; and this brings as first to the facts of the science. In the discussion of this department of the subject, it will appear that Christian men have been the pioneers of this new science. The ancients had no facts. The great facts of the science were the languages of the earth ; and of these Jhe Greeks and Bomans knew, and cared to know, only so much as was necessary for intercourse with the " barbarians, whom they conquered aud governed. Even this amount of knowledge was greatly reduced by the employment of trained inter preters. ; So long as forei goers were regarded as "barbarians," and were prouounced "tongueless," merely be cause they could not speak Greek, we could not expect Plato to accom plish much in his crude attempts at etymology. Until some practical use could be made of linguistic know- ledge, of coarse such .. knowledge ! wpnid be limited. A mere temporary interest might be aroused under spe cial excitement, as in the controversy: between the Nominalists and the Realists of the Middle Ages, whose "war of words" produced results which still survive ; but ia all such cases, the interest excited ia the study of words is purely incidental, and commonly wears out before ac complishing any important linguistic result. It is only when we become inter ested in man as man, that any real impulse can be tgivea to linguistic studies. Whta we come to regard man's speech as a wonderful , .organ ism, separating him from all i brutes, and hinting at Jiia divine "kinship and destiny, we are then prepared to take a profound interest in language on its own account, and to study it for the vast practical - aid which it furnishes in oar efforts to help man kind. ' 5 - '-- That language is such an organ, ism was ': practically : confessed by I Lord Monboddo himself,! n the admis sion that no brute had been discov ered in the possession of language ; and even Helvetins, who held that all mental phenomena were reducible to feeling, could not pretend that brutes talked. We are so well satis fied with Wheweil's view (that all sound knowledge of one science will help to throw light upon all others,) that we feel no special uneasiness even An the presence of Darwin's theories ; and none-' of the recent in vestigations in Ethnology, and1 in Comparative Anatomy have succeed ed in frightening us with visions of oratorical - moakey s, or of ' poetical apes, with or without talis. -i Now. we shall not contend that before the introduction of Christian! ty, there was absolutely no material accumulated for 'the use of the com' parative philologist; bat it ia certain that such material" was - inadeauate to the purposes of a science. Even . this accumulation was due . to 'come religious motivennmlmost every im portant instance Or was somehow connected with religion. About 258 B. O., the Hebrew4 Old Testament was translated Into Greek by seventy learned Jews,! and hence called Tbe Beptnagint" (or -version of the seventy) under which name it still exists among us. Whether it was made at the request 'bf'Ptole- maeusV Phlladelpnus. or for the con venience of the Hellenistic Jews' at Alexandria, (a question which J the scholars have not settled,) makes no . difference to ns. 16 - was translated , because wanted 1y ; those . "who were interested lit the 'Jewish religion j so that religious motive,' or t leasts an interest in a religtoas ' Bookr'Iedi to the translation: k But J neitbet this translatiOntior" that of! tbetwbrks , of Kpr6aster,'inade t b6at the same time, seems to, have awakened any thing like scientific inquiry into the- nature of languages orr ftsr accounts Greek under him. At this period it was common for Eoman children to leani' Greek before Latin ; and we finbQaintilian complaining that with most people it was 1 the fashion" to learn nothing but Greek. Juvenal severely satirizes- the same general tendency. Such a state of : aflaira need hot surprise those who, like the present writer, hive known excellent Latin scholars in the country, : who could neither speak nor : write toler able English. . o : - ' ' -:a The first history ot Borne was writ ten at Borne by Fabias Pictor, about 200 B. C. It wad in Greek, and this xdsj. heJp to explain the carioas eir cams tan ce, that AiiDDon was very near .writing his famous history, of the -"Decline and Fall of the Komaa Enpiretjn French. ; i , - ; w - .. When the Bomans wanted a code of laws, 4M B. On they snt com miasionera to Greece to look up the laws of Solon and other Greek phii loBophers. Tie plays of Plautus give abundant proof of the Boman affec tation of using Greek words. Linus Andrionicas 272 B. C, settled at Borne as a Professor of Greek, and translated Homer's Odyssey t into; Latin verse. The Greek historian, Poly bias used to meet with Luci lias, Terence and others 1 at the house of the Scipiosand there with Panactius, the Stoic philosopher,who lived in the house, they would discuss the great problems of the Greek phi losophy. These distinguished men used to hold a sort of informal liter ary club, reminding as of the-days of Dr. Sam. Johnson, and of Cole ridge. ; We mention these facts to show that the Boman literary civilization and laws were adaptations of Greek thought in these several directions. Max Mailer says truly, that the Ital ians were indebted to the Greeks for the rery rudiments of civilization. Those Bomans weie a strange peo pie. With all their power, military and civil, they were, perhaps, the most thoroughly unoriginal people that have acted any important part on the stage of history They were great at adaptation. They under stood the practical valoe cf their own famous proverb, Fas est ab hosts doceri? it is light to learn from an enemy. They were univer sal robbers carrying oa and using not only the material wealth, but the laws, the literature and the veyr re ligion - of their conquered enemies. They possessed a marvellous power of absorbing whatever was valuable in the civilization of any people with whom they happened to come in con- tact. - Heathen as they were, they did not take the trouble to invent even a religion ; but satisfied . them selves with a mere adaptation ot the Greek theology ; and of all their adaptations, this was, perhaps the most bungling work. It required for its successful performance more ideality than the average Boman could appreciate, much less possess. Hercules, Saturn, Jupiter, Castor and Pollux, Minerva, &a, were all origin ally Greek divinities, and were sadly damaged in names and in characters by the transfer to the Roman Pan- tbeon. -r - ' The Boman culture, then, was es sentially and originally Greek. The Greek culture was simply the out growth of Greek philosophy ; i for, whatever may be said in this mate rialistic age, it is a people's thinkers who mould their civilization. The steam engine is just as trait a pro duct of modem thought as the Olym pic games were a prod act of ancient thought " - - Bat the Greek Philosophy, as well as the Greek Literature, waa intense ly religions. -The Philosopher among the Greeks was i really ; a religious teacher, and Socrates was put to deatoi for heresy. - x o one can read the 'discourse ot Diotimus in1 the Banquet, and not be impressed with its profoundly religious tone. The same remark is- applicable to much of what Plato has left as; and the deeply: religious origin and nature of the ureeki tragedy- are -tne most stnk in g characteristics of th is t de partment of literature.' The choruses sometimes reminded -us of the book of Job. i E ven that military martinet and literary dandy, Xenophon, in bis "Anabasis" is continually reminding U8 0f his religions faith; "and of his paramount reverence' for the gods of hia -'conntrr. k . ias.mmm M.-,C.ej In view of these factsw J then, ' we think, we may safely -conclude that religion had much to do with grafting of the Greek - culture in the t uoman stock, and thus arousing one people to some interest in th&langnage of another; We propose to show, how ever, that it was reserved for a higher form Of religion" so:to; intensify this interest'aa to famish the-1 ground- work "of :a'sciencei"i -saumt m CThuafar we have found no tingaia- tie' Scieneey'iiotbin g indeed that ap rroaehe ifci ve havefottd !niy some isolated fact, which', some two thousand years later; ee'rted as inci dental aids to:theMscientiftot iiveati :r.alk so 'Iff ."-"tl lomls plaintive lamentation' of the 'JunV per' shade, bat the cheerful heart song of one whd Teposesneathtbe "nmbrag1 bread"1 ofJthe TJreeHttf jJifar r Tbis is wisei grateful ahd hopeful.
