There are a few topics indeed, with refpeét to which I think I may be allowed to afl'ert fome claims to novelty. For many of my remarks on the Greek Language I am indebted principally to my own Obfervations upon its nature and compas rative merits; the Hiflory of Chivalry, important as the influence of that remarkable inflitution has been upon manners, is a fubjeét upon which I have not been able to colleft much information from Englifh Authors; and the Hfiory ofthe Revival of Claflz'cal Learning, although a topic of the ftrongeft interefi to every man of letters, has never been fully treated by any writer, with whofe works I am ac, quainted.
