Hindoostan, Malay and Chfnese-ie mixed
together in the English dictionary. On the
evidence of words 4lone it would be i'm
possible 10 classify English with any other
of the established stocks and stems of
human speech. Leaving out OF consideration
the smaller ingredients, we find on com par
ing the TeutonIc with the Latin, or Neo-Iatin,
or Norman element IN English, that the latter
have decided ma jOrity over the homegrown
Saxon terms. NJ. ThommeFel, who counted
every word in the dictionaries of Robertson
and Webster, has esta bits ned the fact that the
mum Der of Teutonic or Saxon words mounts
TO only 13, ,230. against 29, ,S53, which can
mediateiy or lmme diately he traced to Latin
source. We may form whole sentences in Eng
lish consisting entirely OF Latin or Romance
words; yet whatever there is OF grammar in
English bears unms taxa BILE traces of Teutonic
workmanship. What may now be termed
grammar in English is little more than the
examinations of the genltive singular and
nominatiye plural of nouns, the degrees OF
com parison and few OF the persons and
