But, first of all, tell me what are some of the words which this morning puzzled my little girl so much? L--Oh, mamma, you will laugh now; but we did not understand the passage in which it is said that the Romans traced their pedigree from the gods. We do not know what pedigree is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. The study of language, and the derivation of words, have been of late so frequently brought before the public, that these Conversations can offer little novelty to the reader of larger and more able works.

The ideas have no claim to originality: they have been taken from the best writers on the subject; and the author has been greatly indebted for much valuable assistance to the Rev. Dr White, late Professor of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Oxford, and Editor of the "Ormulum."
