princi-ples,its legitimate ends,nor its ethnological uses in verifying history,or determining the pre-historical migrations and affiliations of tribes,are definitely settled.Resemblances,that one investigator regardsas valuable and important,are pronounced trivial,accidental,orinsignificant by another,whose most serious dicta are,in their turn,made the subject of ridicule by those who advocate a theory oflanguage differing from his own.  \nSuch students as Bopp,Grimm,Curtius,Pott and others,haveaccumulated a mass of information,from which some rules havebeen deduced that must be recognized in every attempt to find ascientific basis for comparative philology.But even their laborshave been ridiculed by sciolists,who,placing undue stress on themistakes that are inseparable from all human effort,lose sight of themerit that rewards all sincere investigation.It is not strange that atyro,perplexed between the assumed derivation of'on the onehand,*and the curious“Ten Paradoxes”of Haldeman on theother,t should be disposed to assert the worthlessness of Etymology,and to regard as its fundamental rule,that“all consonants are mu-tually interchangeable,and all vowels are of no account,\"or to setthe derivation of“fox”from\"rainy day\"and“mango”from“King Jeremiah,”on a level with the results of the most abstrusephilological researches.  \nBut the earnest student will soon outgrow all disposition to ridi-cule even what may appear to him as absurd in the deductions ofcareful investigators.He will feel that every addition to knowledge  \nVOL.VII.—X  \n178  \nis an addition to the treasury from which future investigators willdraw their wealth,and he will rather leave the rejection of the basemetal to those who can find a proper use for the good,than attemptto depreciate the whole by directing our attention exclusively to thatwhich he imagines may be bad.  \nAll etymological researches may be arranged in three classes,viz.:  \n1.Immediate or Derivative;2.Comparative;3.Radical or Ger-minal.  \n1.Derivative Etymology is limited to the determination of thelanguage from which any given word is immediately derived,andusually without much change of form.Its method is the one adoptedby ordinary lexicographers.  \n2.Comparative Etymology traces similarities and subordinate dif-ferences of sound and meaning,between different languages whichare generally,though not necessarily,of the same family or origin;and sometimes attempts to assign the cause of such similarity ordifference,whether accidental,organic,derivative,or otherwise.  \n3.Radical or Germinal Etymology,endeavors to ascertain theessential elements of words,without regard to their immediate deri-vation or remote affinities.The most noteworthy example of thisclass,is to be found in the labors of the Indian grammarians,whocompiled the lists of Sanscrit radicals,an example that might beadvantageously imitated by supplying similar lists for other languages.  \nThe philological labors of Oriental scholars,such as Grimm,Bopp,and others,have been mostly comparative.In the sanguine enthusi-asm of the early students of Sanscrit,the hope was often indulged,that the key to all languages had been found,and that all dialecticmysteries would be speedily removed.Since these extravagant ex-pectations have been generally given up,there has been,perhaps,anundue tendency in the opposite direction,to disparage the study ofSanscrit for etymologic uses.In contending against such a ten-dency it is not necessary to assume any theory with regard to therelative antiquity and position of the Sanscrit and its kindred lan-guages;it is sufficient to show that the Sanscrit is one of the earli-est known members of the Indo-European family,and that,therefore,from its introduction into a comparative list with any other memberof the same family,it is ","cbCaiivf3pCr7iLT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiivf3pCr7iLT","pdf",36826713,116,"English","# SANSCRIT AND ENGLISH
