G. J. CAYLEY.

Wydale, Oct. 21.

P.S.--_Greadly_ is probably a transposition for _geradly_. The Yorkshire

pronunciation of _gradely_ is almost as if written _grared-ly_.

I think it probable that the words _greed, greedily_, are from the same

radicle. By the way, is _radix_ perhaps derived from [Sanskrit: rad]

(_rad_), a tooth (from the fang-like form of roots), whence _rodere_ and

possibly _radius_?
