About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1881. Hardcover. G (Binding is faded along outer spine and has moderate wear to head and heel of spine; interior is only slightly aged; former owner name on first flyleaf.). Brown textured cloth, 432 pp., BW illus., colored maps. "Presents a full account of the literatures of ancient nations, and, treating of the origin and relationships of their respective languages, incidentally brings forward some of the most interesting facts of Comparative Philology. While the writings of Greece and Rome receive due attention, a new and, it is believed, peculiarly valuable feature of the book will be found in its treatment of ancient Oriental literature -- particularly the Sanscrit and Persian." (preface).
