Project Gutenberg 2004-09-01 Public domain in the USA. 291 Trench, Richard Chenevix 1807 1886 Chenevix, Richard On the Study of Words Produced by Karl Hagen, Juliet Sutherland, Charles Franks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "On the Study of Words" by Richard Chenevix Trench is a scholarly work that delves into the complexities of language and etymology, likely written during the mid-19th century. This treatise explores how words embody and convey moral, historical, and emotional truths and urges readers to appreciate the profound significance tied to language. Through a series of lectures, Trench posits that individual words can offer vast treasures of knowledge and insight if examined closely. The opening of the work establishes the purpose and themes that will be elaborated throughout the lectures. Trench emphasizes the wealth of meaning encapsulated in individual words, encouraging readers to consider language not merely as arbitrary symbols, but as living entities filled with history and significance. He critiques the common ignorance towards the depth of words and suggests that understanding their origins and meanings can lead to a richer appreciation of their use in both personal and collective contexts. The context of language is described as an all-encompassing domain that connects the present with the past, and the author asserts that recognizing the poetry and power of words is an essential part of education and communication.
