Alexander Allen (23 September 1814 – 6 November 1842) was an English writer and linguist who specialised in studies of Greece. ==Biography== He was the son of John Allen, born at Hackney 23 September 1814. He was educated at his father’s school and the University of London. On his father's death he carried on the Madras House Grammar School, at Hackney. Allen obtained, in 1840, the degree of doctor of philosophy from the University of Leipzig. In the dedication of his ''Analysis of Latin Verbs'' to Thomas Hewitt Key, he mentions that many of his philological principles were derived from Key; he also acknowledges, in his ‘Essay on Teaching Greek,’ his obligations to his friend William Wittich, teacher of German in University College, London. In the last years of his life he paid attention to Anglo-Saxon, Swedish, Danish, Icelandic, and German, with a view to a comprehensive work on the history and structure of the English language. He left many notes upon this subject, but not in a state fit for publication. Allen died on 6 November 1842. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Allen (writer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
