"Most members of the Etymological Society wrote for the Philological Museum and in our effort to get at the community of background outlook and philological interest shared by the influential Cambridge scholars we may briefly consider that publication. Hare who shared the editorship with Thirwell explained in the Preface to the first of the only two volumes that were published that English scholars in the 1820's had contributed little more than a 'mite' to the knowledge of classical antiquity . it became the purpose of the Museum to foster the 'spirit of philological criticism' . Actually the majority of the articles were on classical subjects with Thirwell the most prolific contributor. But the Museum also contained several articles on English and the new philology of which Kemble's 'On English Praeterites and Genitives' was the most important being the first exposition in English of Grimm's analysis of the forms of the verb in Germanic" Aarsleff The Study of Language in England 1780-1860 pp. 219-20.
