Essay on the Modern Pronunciation of the Greek and Latin Languages

This 1827 publication, praised by Wordsworth as 'most ingenious', seeks to correct the modern mispronunciation of ancient Greek and Latin.

Zusammenfassung

Athough Sir Uvedale Price (1747–1829) is chiefly remembered for his defence of the picturesque style of landscape gardening, he was also concerned with how modern speakers 'injure' ancient Greek and Latin texts through errors in pronunciation, as expressed in this 1827 publication, praised by Wordsworth as 'most ingenious'.
