Families Of Speech

Families of Speech is a book containing four lectures delivered by Frederic William Farrar before the Royal Institution of Great Britain in March 1869. The lectures explore the origins and evolution of human language, examining the similarities and differences between various language families. Farrar delves into the history of languages such as Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin, and discusses the ways in which language has evolved over time. He also explores the relationship between language and culture, and the ways in which language has shaped human thought and communication. The book provides a fascinating insight into the study of linguistics and the history of human language. Published in 1870, Families of Speech remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the origins and evolution of language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
