Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Language, Its Origin and Development
The following volume has grown out of the Lectures on Comparative Grammar, which have been delivered in University College in the years 1841 - 1873; but some matters have been passed over more lightly, because they had been discussed in greater fullness in the 'philological Essays, ' which were published in 1868, and may be regarded as supplementary to what is now put forth.
