Excerpt from An Universal Language, Formed on Philosophical and Analogical Principles

Language, notwithstanding its acquisition and im provement occupies a portion of the time of most per sons, from their earliest infancy to advanced age, is yet, as a science, considered worthy the pursuit only of the learned. But as it is said by an eminent au thor, that the study of arranging and expressing our thoughts with propriety, teaches to think, as well as to speak accurately whatever may have a tenden cy to turn the inclination of people toward the melioration of their speech, is entitled to a high con sideration.
