LHPRoVEllENT IN LANGUAGE.

Lord Harrowbv, In recent speech IL
Parliament (if the speeehbe reported cor
rectly) made use of two very uncommon
words, one of which we are inclined to con.
slider as totally indefensible. He used the
expressions s'to incipitate an enquiry," and
to Dyf1gidate the public ardor." The
word nfrigidate is recognized by Johnson
who quotes Boyle as his authority. Upon
the subject of coming new words, "much
may be said on both sides. The current
of public opinion has for some time decided
against the practice, and yet new terms are
continually creeping into type, for instance
the fashionable word de7noYaESe. We have
ever thought there was much force in the
elegant logic of HORACE upon this subject,
though perhaps ii is less applicable in mo-
!. dern than it was in ancient times. The
passage to which we allude is well known
to the classical scholar, ard those who
are not in the habit of reading Latin will
be gratihed by the literal translation. Why
should the Romans grant to P!autus and
Cacilius privilege denied to Virgil and
Varius WHY should be envied, if have
it in my power to acquire few words,
when the language of Cato and Ennias has
enriched our native tongue, and produced
new names of things? It has been and ever
will be allowable to coin word marked
with the stamp in present request. AS
leaves in the woods are changed with the
heeting years the earliest fall oH6rst in
this manner words perish with old age, and
NV ones flourish and thrive, ike men in
the days of their youth. We, and all our
works, are doomed to death. The works
Dfmortal men must perish; much less can
he honor and elegance of Language be long
lived. Many words shall revive which are
aow in disuse and many which are nov
il esteem shall fall, if it be the will Of Gus
tom; in whose power is the decision, the
right, and standard of language.
