_Etymology of "Page"_ (Vol. ix., p. 106.).--_Paggio_ Italian, _page_ French

and Spanish, _pagi_ Provencal, is derived by Diez, _Etymologisches

Woerterbuch der Romanischen Sprachen_ (Bonn, 1853), p. 249., from the Greek

[Greek: paidion]. This derivation is evidently the true one. I may take

this opportunity of recommending the above-cited work to all persons who

feel an interest in the etymology of the Romance languages. It is not only

more scientific and learned, but more comprehensive, than any other work of

the kind.
