No. 9. INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION BY LANGUAGR Phiup Gilbert Hamerton. AMONG the innumerable progeny of novel ideas and speculations which have owed their origin to modem facilities of communication, is the suggestion which may be met with from time ta time in European newspapers, and possibly also in American ones, that men will see so much of each other in the future, and feel so strongly the necessity for means of completer intercourse, as to gradually abandon many of the languages now spoken, confining themselves to two or three of the most highly developed, and finally, perhaps, resting satisfied with one. This idea has arisen at the same time with political conceptions of equal novelty, and of a strikingly similar character. The parallel political theory is that the world will come to consist of a very few greatS tates, which finally, eithet by friendly agreement or the military predominance of one of them, will place the supreme government of the whole planet in the hands of a single council, perhaps even of a single individual, in whose person will be concentrated the world-power which was the dream of Alexander and Caesar and Napoleon, yet only partially realized by the mightiest of those three conquerors.
