Excerpt from Dead Language and Dead Languages With Special Reference to Latin: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University of Liverpool
Considerations of concinnity and a due regard to the limits of your patience have forced me somewhat to circumscribe my subject, and though it is not a little embarrassing to have to separate two studies so long and so intimately associated as those of Greek and Latin, called even in the time of Horace the two tongues,' Iwil] confine myself almost entirely to the language which I have the honour to teach in this University, and the knowledge of which is prescribed by our ordinances for all who would graduate in Arts.
If, on the one hand, any part of my treatment seem to you to be unduly polemical, blame not me, the defender, but them, the assailants, the bitter and unceasing assailants of our ancient studies. If, on the other, what I have to say appears too trite and familiar, do not visit your tedium upon one who would willingly have spared you the repetition of the obvious, but upon those who cannot learn, however often they are instructed.

The author argues that these languages are far from dead and remain relevant and valuable in the modern world. The book begins by examining the nature of language and its evolution over time, making a clear distinction between âdeadâ and ânot spokenâ languages. It highlights that even though Latin is no longer spoken in everyday conversation, it continues to be used in various contexts and remains a key to understanding the development and intricacies of many modern languages, including English, French, and Spanish. The author emphasizes the rich literary heritage of Latin, using examples from renowned authors like Virgil and Dante to illustrate the depth and beauty of its written works. It also discusses the practical benefits of studying Latin, such as improved English vocabulary and grammar, enhanced critical thinking skills, and a deeper understanding of Western culture.
