It provides valuable insights into the nature of language and its role in human communication and understanding.Spoken words are the symbols of mental experience and written words are the symbols of spoken words. Just as all men have not the same writing, so all men have not the same speech sounds, but the mental experiences, which these directly symbolize, are the same for all, as also are those things of which our experiences are the images.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
