This book, by the late Vice-Chancellor of, and Professor of Sanskrit at, the University of the Punjab, attempts a synthesis of the important but very varied roles played by languages in the history of human society. 'What', asks Dr. Woolner, 'are the factors which determine their rise and fall? Is the world so much poorer or so much richer for every tongue that dies'? etc. Book is in very good condition, especially considering the copyright date of 1938. Although dust jacket is not is very good condition, it has been 'patched' with clear tape and is still usable.
