Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin and Progress of Language, Vol. 1
There is no separate work on this subject, in our language, constructed so as to aim sys tematically at the elucidation of this great and interesting truth. The learned are familiar with many treatises on language, some of which are unfavourable to the views here maintained; while the conclusions of others, so far as they are carried out, point only incidentally to the same result as this essay. An attempt has here been made to treat the subject on Christian principles, to compress all that is essential to its right un derstanding into a narrow space; and so to simplify the facts and reasonings as to render them intelligible to the young, and to those classes of society who have no learned leisure to employ in extensive reading on such a theme. If the book shall be found to render instruction and pleasure to inquiring minds, and tend in any case to produce or strengthen belief in the Obligations of the world to the sacred Scriptures, the author will be thankful, and endeavour to present the glory resulting from such events at the feet of Him to whom all praise belongs.
