Publisher's Synopsis

""An Essay On The Means Of Discovering The Senses Of Words"" is a book written by John Philips Potter in 1828. The book is an exploration of the different methods that can be used to understand the meanings of words. Potter argues that there are various ways in which we can uncover the true sense of a word, including examining its etymology, its context, and its usage in different contexts. He also discusses the importance of understanding the historical and cultural context in which a word is used, as well as the role of metaphor and analogy in shaping our understanding of language. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in linguistics, semantics, and the study of language. It provides a detailed and thoughtful analysis of the ways in which we can deepen our understanding of the meanings of words and the nuances of language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
