{62} We may see the same progress in Greek words which were being incorporated in the Latin. Thus Cicero writes ἀντίποδες (_Acad._ ii, 39, 123), but Seneca (_Ep._ 122), ‘antipodes’; that is, the word for Cicero was still Greek, while in the period that elapsed between him and Seneca, it had become Latin: so too Cicero wrote εἴδωλον, the Younger Pliny ‘idolon’, and Tertullian ‘idolum’. {63} [This rash prophecy has not been fulfilled. English speakers are still no more inclined to say ‘préstige’ than ‘pólice’.] {64} See in Coleridge’s _Table Talk_, p. 3, the amusing story of John Kemble’s stately correction of the Prince of Wales for adhering to the earlier pronunciation, ‘obl_ee_ge,’--“It will become your royal mouth better to say obl_i_ge.” {65} “In this great _académy_ of mankind”. Butler, _To the Memory of Du Val_. {66} “‘Twixt that and reason what a nice _barrier_”. {67} [A fairly complete collection of these and similar semi-naturalized foreign words will be found in _The Stanford Dictionary of Anglicized Words_, edited by Dr. C. A. M. Fennell, 1892.] {68} [This is quite wrong. Mr. Fitzedward Hall shows that ‘inimical’ was used by Gaule in 1652, as well as by Richardson in 1758 (_Modern English_, p. 287). The N.E.D. quotes an instance of it from Udall in 1643.] {69} [The word had been already naturalized by H. More, 1647, Cudworth, 1678, Tucker 1765, and Carlyle, 1831.--N.E.D.] {70} [The earliest citation for ‘abnormal’ in the N.E.D. is dated 1835. The older word was ‘abnormous’. Curious to say it is unrelated to ‘normal’ to which it has been assimilated, being merely an alteration of ‘anomal-ous’.] {71} [Fuller says of ‘plunder’, “we first heard thereof in the Swedish wars”, and that it came into England about 1642 (_Church History_, bk. xi, sec. 4, par. 33). It certainly occurs under that date in _Memoirs of the Verney Family_, “It is in danger of _plonderin_” (vol. i, p. 71, also p. 151). It also occurs in a document dated 1643, “We must _plunder_ none but Roundheads” (_Camden Soc. Miscellany_, iii, 31). Drummond (died 1649) has “Go fight and _plunder_” (_Poems_, ed. Turnbull, p. 330). It appears in a quotation from _The Bellman of London_ (no reference) given in Timbs, _London and Westminster_, vol. i, p. 254.] {72} [It is rather from the old Dutch _trecker_, a ‘puller’. Very few English words come to us from German.] {73} [So Skeat, _Etym. Dict._ But the Germans themselves take their _schwindler_ (in the sense of cheat) to have been adopted from the English ‘swindler’. Dr. Dunger asserts that it was introduced into their language by Lichtenberg in his explanation of Hogarth’s engravings, 1794-99 (_Englanderei in der Deutschen Sprache_, 1899, p. 7).] {74} _Pisgah Sight of Palestine_, 1650, p. 217.
