Epea Pteroenta

Epea Pteroenta: Or The Diversions Of Purley, Part 2 is a book written by John Horne Tooke and published in 1805. This book is a continuation of Tooke's previous work, The Diversions of Purley, which was published in two parts in 1786 and 1805. Epea Pteroenta is a collection of essays and observations on the English language, grammar, and syntax. Tooke was a prominent figure in the study of language during the Enlightenment period, and his work in this book is a reflection of his deep understanding of the subject. The book covers a wide range of topics related to language, including the origin of words, the use of prepositions, and the structure of sentences. Tooke's writing is often humorous and witty, and he uses a variety of examples to illustrate his points. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and development of the English language, as well as for those who enjoy the study of language and linguistics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
