Excerpt from An Universal Language, Formed on Philosophical and Analogical Principles
The subject of the present work, though of the highest importance, is one which receives but asmall part of the attention of the generality of mankind. Language, notwithstanding its acquisition and im provement occupies a portion of the time of most per sons, from their earliest infancy to advanced age, is yet, as a science, considered worthy the pursuit only of the learned. But as it is said by an eminent au thor, that the study of arranging and expressing our thoughts with propriety, teaches to think, as well as to speak accurately whatever may have a tenden cy to turn the inclination of people toward the melioration of their speech, is entitled to a high con sideration.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a groundbreaking universal language designed on philosophical and analogical principles. The author, a scholar in the field of grammar and philology, provides a detailed grammar, dictionary, and examples of written pieces translated into English. This language is formed from a system of letters representing simple sounds in common to different languages, with vowels to mark the vocal ones, and semivowels to mark the various terminations necessary for the declensions of the parts of speech. The author's exploration of previous attempts to introduce universality of language and uniformity of orthography adds historical context to the subject. This book's methodical approach and systematic organization make it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of language, linguistics, or the creation of artificial languages.
