Excerpt from The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review for the Year 1837, Vol. 9 As a review of the current literature of the day, - the purity of style, sprightliness of manner, and depth of research which characterize its various reviews, strongly commend it also to the general reader. But almost the entire labour of writing articles and editing it, heretofore, has de volved on a few gentlemen at Princeton. This onerous service has been cheerfully borne by them from year to year with the hope, thatthe success of the work would, in part at least, relieve them. To call the attention of ministers and laymen of the Presbyterian Church to the necessity of sustaining the Repertory, is the object of this circular. It is not contemplated to make any change in the editorial depart ment of the work, - that will still continue with the association at Princeton. But it is the desire of both Editors and Proprietor, that its circulation should be so ex tended as to allow them to pay liberally for contributions to its pages. So that, inaddition to those who are accustomed to furnish matter for it, the aid of a still larger number of the ablest writers in the Church may be secured.

Excerpt from The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review, Vol. 40: For the Year 1868 Linguistics is /gradually acquiring the consistency of a science. If not so definite as mathematics and other pure sciences, it has yet made good its claim to be regarded as a science, both by the character of its methods and the wide generalizations which it has reached. Languages have long, almost always indeed, been a subject of study. But one may be an accomplished linguist, reading and speaking many tongues, without being an adept in the science of language. This science, in its more recent and exact form, differs percep tibly even from philology. The material, or subject matter of the science, is not one language, or any one class of languages, ancient or modern, living or dead, but language itself, in its entirety. Its methods are to observe, arrange, and classify all the forms of speech that are, or ever have been, in use, and from them to deduce the necessary laws of speech for a race constituted as the human race is. It aims to Show how lan guage originated, that is, to Show why we speak at all, and why we Speak as we do, to show what is the inner life of language, Language and the Study of Language.
