Thirtieth Edition, corrected, and the Appendix enlarged and improved. In the Appendix to this, English derivation is extensively considered. The prepositive and terminational particles are critically explained and illustrated. It is hoped, that the view of the Greek and Latin prepositions may prove useful to all classes of learners in determining, in many cases, independent of usage, the English prepositions which ought to follow particular words. As an inducement to the study of derivation, it may in general be said that many words are derivatives of but a single root, and may therefore be defined by joining the meaning of the root with those of the modifying particles.
