Publisher's Synopsis
The Effect Of The Misuse Of Familiar Words On The Character Of Men And The Fate Of Nations is a book written by David Urquhart in 1856. The book is a philosophical treatise on the impact of the misuse of language on the character of individuals and the destiny of nations. Urquhart argues that the misuse of words can lead to a degradation of moral values, as well as a breakdown of social and political institutions. He contends that the misuse of language can be used as a tool of manipulation by those in power, leading to the subjugation of the masses. Urquhart's work is a call to arms for individuals to take responsibility for the words they use and to use them wisely, in order to ensure a better future for themselves and their communities. The book is a thought-provoking examination of the power of language and its impact on society, and it remains relevant today, more than a century and a half after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
