Abstract:

Peter Giles (1860–1935) spent most of his working life at Emmanuel College,
Cambridge. In addition to obtaining first-class degrees at Aberdeen and
Cambridge, he attended the lectures in Germany of the philologist Karl
Brugmann, which resulted in this 1895 book, bringing to Britain the ideas of
the Neogrammarians. As Giles explains in his preface, it is intended for
'Classical students who, without being professed students of Comparative
Philology, desire some acquaintance with its principles as applied to Latin
and Greek'. Part I discusses comparative philology and the Indo-European
languages in general; Part II, the specifics of phonetics and phonology in
Latin and Greek; and Part III deals with morphology. This useful guide was
Giles' only book, but he contributed to the Cambridge Ancient History and the
Cambridge History of India, and was the single most prolific contributor on
language-related topics to the eleventh edition of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica.
