Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hermes, or a Philosophical Inquiry Concerning Universal Grammar
As to the book itself, it can say this in its behalf, that it does not merely confine itself to what 'its title promises; but ex patiatesfreely into whatever is collateral; aiming on every occasion to rise in its in quiries, and to pass, as far as possible, from small matters to the greatest. Nor is it formed merely upon sentiments that are now in fashion, or supported only by such authorities as are modern. Many Authors'are quoted, that now-a-days are but little studied and some perhaps, whose very names are hardly known.
