| Summary | "Opuscula: Essays chiefly Philological and Ethnographical" by R. G. Latham is a collection of essays focused on language studies and ethnography, written in the mid-19th century. The work primarily includes papers presented before the Philological Society of London, covering a variety of topics related to philology, linguistics, and cultural anthropology. Latham’s aim is to explore specific questions within these fields, addressing obscure points of interest that contribute to a broader understanding of language and culture. The opening of the volume sets the stage for Latham’s exploration of the significance of language studies as part of a liberal education. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one's native language in its entirety and valuing the literature it produces. By exploring definitions, rules of rhetoric, and the influences of different languages and cultures, Latham aims to provide a framework for appreciating the complexity and evolution of English as a mixed language, detailing its connections with various linguistic roots while underscoring the necessity for clear communication and critical thinking in both writing and the study of languages.
