William Barnes - A Philological Grammar

William Barnes - A Philological Grammar

Palindrome: 

A palindrome, called by the Persians mukloob, or conversion, is the matching of words that are anagrams of each other:

Speed, boatman, o'er the deeps.

A line or sentence may be so formed, as to give the same breath-sounds when read forward or backward.

This is called by the Persians the equal anagram, or conversion; as,

ɷrɷm dɷd mɷrɷ.

He gave me rest.

William Barnes B.D. - A Philological Grammar, Grounded upon English, and formed from a comparison of more than sixty languages. 

Being an introduction to the science of grammar, and a help to grammars of all languages, especially english, latin, and greek. (St, Johns college, Cambridge)
