Lectures on the Science of Language: Volume 2 : Delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1863

Omtale

A pioneer in comparative philology, Friedrich Max Müller (1823–1900) is credited with popularising the subject in Victorian Britain. His hugely successful Royal Institution lectures, first published in two volumes in 1861–4, explore a range of philological topics and were reprinted fifteen times before the end of the century.
