Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive study of the history and evolution of languages, shedding light on their origins, connections, and the factors that have shaped their unique characteristics over time. The author explores the notion that all languages are fundamentally equal, but argues that external factors such as cultural influences and historical events can contribute to the perception of some languages as superior to others. Delving into the complexities of language, the book examines the role of reason and natural instinct in language development, challenging the idea that languages are solely the result of human invention. The author further discusses the concept of language as a tool for expressing not only thoughts but also emotions and cultural identity. Ultimately, this book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the nature of language and its profound impact on human communication and understanding.

With woodcut headpiece, tailpiece, and initials. Alston III, 805 (not noting final leaf of ads). âExcept for a couple of nicks to the spine, about as fine a copy as one could hope for. Inspired by the writings of Jean du Tremblay and the work of the Academie Française on language, English cleric Thomas Stackhouse (1681/2-1752) here enters the debate about the merits of classical Latin and Greek versus modern languages. He gives a brief history of the evolution of languages, from the Tower of Babel to the modern day. After examining the dominance of Latin and Greek in formal education, literature, and the sciences, he points out the flaws in arguments for the superiority of Classical languages, and presents a strong case for the merits of modern vernacular, especially English. Stackhouse supplemented the meager income he received as a low-ranking Anglican priest--the remunerative posts going to younger sons of aristocrats and gentry--by editing and then writing religious works. He was best known for "A Complete Body of Divinity," a summary of Anglican doctrine, and for his Bible histories. Judging from the paucity of auction records and dealer listings, the present work seems to be of considerable, even unaccountable rarity.
