Three Lectures on the Science of Language (1895) - Muller Friedrich Maximilian

""Three Lectures on the Science of Language"" is a book written by Friedrich Max Muller in 1895. The book is a collection of three lectures that Muller delivered at the Royal Institution in London in 1861. The lectures explore the origins and evolution of language and the relationship between language and thought. Muller discusses the history of language and the different theories of language development, including the idea that language evolved from gestures and the belief that language was a gift from the gods. He also examines the relationship between language and culture and the impact of language on society. Muller's work was groundbreaking in its time and helped to establish the field of linguistics as a scientific discipline. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of language, as well as the relationship between language and culture.Delivered At The Oxford University Extension Meeting, With A Supplement: My Predecessors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
