Description
An accessible introduction to the study of language, this nineteenth-century work presents philology as a discipline concerned with the history, structure, and development of words and speech. It acquaints readers with the principles of linguistic comparison, etymology, and the evolution of languages across cultures and eras. Combining scholarly instruction with a clear pedagogical approach, the book offers a revealing glimpse into Victorian-era methods of understanding language and its connection to human history, literature, and civilization.
