Excerpt from The Philosophy of Language: Comprising Universal Grammar, or the Pure Science of Language; And Glossology, or the Historical Relations of Languages

Recognized the Praeco, to whose most bitter voice (as Cicero says) the goods of the great Pompey were subjected sub basta. Many other such investigations kept alive, amidst the more serious occupations of the law, his regard for the study of language and it was under these circumstances that he was applied to for that treatise on Grammar which appeared in the Encyclopedia Metr'opolitana. A few years afterwards he was raised to the high station of Chief Justice of Malta; the arduous duties of which office absorbed, for many years, nearly the whole of his time. At length, in 1839, he was relieved from that important charge, and left to close a long life in the atz'um cum dignitate which he still enjoys.

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Language: Comprising Universal Grammar, or the Pure Science of Language; And Glossology, or the Historical Relations of Languages

The present work was originally composed for the Encyclopædia Metropolitana, a publication which was designed to have been produced under the editorial care of the late Samuel Taylor Coleridge. That accomplished scholar, distinguished poet, and proiound metaphysician, was unfortunately prevented by ill health, and other adverse circumstances, from carrying the intended editorship into effect. He, however, not only devised the comprehensive plan which was described in the Prospectus of the Encyclopædia, but furnished the original materials for a general introduction, which his friend, my uncle, Sir John Stoddart, undertook, at the desire of the proprietors, to arrange for publication, in the form in which it eventually appeared.

My uncle was led, from this circumstance, to draw up an article on Grammar, which, though hastily executed, in the intervals of a laborious profession, was deemed by Mr. Coleridge not unworthy to occupy a place in the Encyclopædia. The subject was one which had attracted the author's attention at a very early period. He was educated at the school in the Close of Salisbury, an institution attached to the Cathedral, and of which a Minor Canon, Dr. Skinner, was Master, and the Rev. E. Coleridge (an elder brother of the poet), Under Master.
