o^ *g 16 M Ifl M O R I A L Early in his connection with the Faculty of the College, he published " Remarks on the Pronunciation of the Greek Language, " in answer to an essay on the same subject by Mr. PICKERING, in which that gentleman defends, and seems to recommend for adoption, the pronunciation of the Mod- ern Greeks ; in opposition to which, Professor MOORE advocated the Erasmian pronunciation, or that generally adopted by western scholars. On this subject, his views were considerably mod...ified later in life. The beginning of this change of his opinion is probably shown in this passage, which appears in his diary of his first visit to Paris : "At the Sorbonne, I attended a a lecture of Mr. JULES DAVID, who read and explained to a small class of about thirty, a portion of the Ajax of Sophocles, the first Choral Song, and the Anapaestic Yerses spoken by Tecmessa, accompanying it. Mr. DAVID, who is the author of an excellent Romaic Grammar, and has lived and taught in Greece, uses the Romaic pronunciation in such a way as greatly to lessen my repugnance to the use of it.
