1897

In consequence of this heterogeneous assemblage of words in no order save the unphilosophical one of the alphabet it is uece100"784 sary for a student to commit to memory a vast number of words each as a soparvite unit at the expense of great labour and with little better than a parrot-like knowledge being helped neither by the connexion uor the sequence of the ideas they express. [...] But the inadequacy of separate vocabularies is shown by the dismay which the beginner must feel when he passes from the selection of one anther to that of another and iind :hat the meaing attached to a word in the one is altered in the other ; and that many words already committed to memory do not again appear. [...] If all the words derived from currere and regere respectively were given in the same page under the original radical forms the association would be at once recognised and the farther it appeared to be fetched the more readily it would bo grasped by the intelligent and curious mind.786 The number of radical words is proportionately so very small to that of the derivatives that the Dictionary or [...] In the specimen above given adapted to the same plan the sections might have been limited to words contained in larger spaces : omitting many of the words that would naturally be sorted under section 4. The existence of Concordances to the Hebrew Greek and English Scriptures makes it easier to arrange the words occurring in them according to the frequency of their occurrence.
