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.
