Synopsis

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.
