Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1862 edition. Excerpt: ...in this manner a great variety of nouns which do not occur in Latin: thus they have all substantives of this form derived from altus, largus, probus, and from the words fein and reich adopted from the German (in Proven. alteza, largueza, proeza, jineza, richeza, Gr. Comp. p. 30). Sometimes they have made a new noun of this form where the Latin employed a different termination; thus altezza, alteza and altesse correspond to altitudo, agrezza to acritudo, giovanezza and jeunesse to juventus, nobilezza, nobleza and noblesse to nobilitas, secheresse to siccitas, chaitiveza in the Poeme sur Boece, v. 88, to captivitas. Sometimes the different languages have used the corresponding terminations for the same words, as in the instances mentioned above: sometimes some of the languages used the termination derived from itia, and some another termination: thus from the various derivatives of the German frisch l came frescura and freschezza Ital., frescura and frescor Span., frescor or fraichor Proven., fraicheur French. So agrezza, Ital., aigrura Span., aigreur French; grandezza Ital., grandeza Span., grandeur French; frigidezza Ital., frigidez Span., froideur French; rigidezza Ital., rigideza Span., roideur French; tepidezza Ital., tibieza Span., tiedeur French. Lunghezza Ital., corresponds to longueur French; the Span. uses the Latin longitud. "Fromfievo!e wad faible modified from flebilis, the Ital. and French have made fievokzza and faiblesse: the Span. has not this word2. Sometimes each language has forms of this kind peculiar to itself, as ampiezza, amorevolezza, dappochezza, mattezza Ital., honradez, idiotez, insensatez, pobreza Span., chaitiveza Proven., ivresse, rudesse, souplesse, vitesse French3. 1 See Grimm, vol. ii. p. 329.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Essay on the Origin and Formation of the Romance Languages: Containing an Examination of Raynouards Theory on the Relation of the Italian, Spanish, Provençal and French to the Latin The following Essay was originally written with the view of being published in the Cambridge Philological Museum, as a criticism of M. Raynouard's researches into the history and formation of the Romance Languages. The discontinuance of that journal having left me no alternative, but to suppress altogether what I had written, or to print it as a separate work, I resolved after some hesitation to adopt the latter course. I am fully conscious that much still remains to be done for the systematic exhaustion of the subject discussed in it: but as M. Raynouard's writings have now become scarce even in France; as they are rarely met with, and are little known in this country: as moreover a reference to many other books is required which can only be procured in foreign libraries; and as there is no extant work of authority which contains a general view of the history and grammatical structure of the Romance languages, I have thought that the results of my researches would be acceptable to some persons who might be desirous to obtain a connected view.
