Présentation de l'éditeur
Bbtweien the enunciated word upon the human lips and its correspondent idea in the human mind there is no natural and no necessary connection. Language, when viewed in the light of an invention, must be considered as i;he application of sound to the purposes of the conveyance of thought; and so viewed, appears the mightiest of a Uthe achievements of combining intellect. Considered, however, as a divine endowment, most strikingly simple, indeed, is the providential arrangement. The intellect might be stored with treasures of inestimable knowledge; the imaation may be all gorgeous with vivid imagery; the bosom may throb vrith heaving emotions; yet, without this magic key to unlock their sources, they must be suffocated in agonized silence. Man would be a virtual idiot, though endowed with the loftiest capacity, and a real hermit, though surrounded with the densest society. Yet, mark how ample the apparatus which Providence has adjusted to the most exalted purposes. The whole process is performed, the whole object is gfuned, by sound vox et preterea nihil. Within some prolific intellect awakes to new existence the eloquent thought, seizes the buoyant sound, and flits, a living messenger, a winged fancy, through liquid air, and descending upon the congenial organ, and melting into other minds, becomes a thrilling impulse to surrounding thousands.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In 'The Inaugural Address', a treatise reflecting on the broad history of language, literature, and detailed examination of influential ancient languages, the author posits the centrality of Greek and Latin language to the development of the English language. Through this historical lens, the author argues their enduring importance for the development of thought and modern education. Although focused on these two languages and their relationship to modern linguistics, the author's analysis is situated within the development of world languages and the cultural context of the ancient Western world. The author identifies both practical and thematic depth in classical languages, which have profound cultural signi cance. The text is a blend of linguistic history and reflection on the nature of human intellect and civilization, and is rich with the erudition of a scholar who has not only mastered the material, but who has thought hard about what it means. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330773147_0
