About this Item

THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. This book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know. Notes on condition:- No dustjacket, Red boards with gold lettering on the spine. The spine is faded. Spine ends and corners are lightly bumped. Pages are crisp and lightly tanned.
