SynopsisExcerpt from The Etymology and Syntax of the English Language Explained: Illustrated It is to'be Observed also, that g, when it has the soft sound, is a double consonant, and performs the same Office as the letter J each having a sound compounded Of the sounds of d and the French J Thus, g in general has the same sound as J in join.

Inquiry is necessarily the parent of knowledge; error itself, proceeding from discussion, leads ultimately to the establishment of truth. Were we to estimate our progress in the knowledge of English grammar from the number of works already published on the subject, we should perhaps be prompted to infer, that in a field so circumscribed, and at the same time so often and so ably explored, no object worthy of notice could have escaped attention.
