of that perplexing ingenuity so characteristic of etymologists, which amuses rather than instructs."—Westminster Review.
"The two great requisites for the task were industry and judgment, and by the help of these Dr. Charnock has produced a useful and instructive, and, we may add, an entertaining and curious volume."—Morning Chronicle.
"To a conviction of the importance of the study of etymology, together with a love of the study itself on the part of Dr. Charnock, we are indebted for the present admirable volume, which for conscientious inquiry, accuracy, and skill in the performance, could scarcely be surpassed in value, and, as such, is constituted an incontestable authority in the matter of which it treats. It will accordingly find grateful acceptance with antiquaries, students, and men of letters. The work is marked by diligent research in ancient and modern languages, and consultation of numerous histories and other works."—Daily Telegraph.
