Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Monboddo's influential work on the origins and development of language was first published in 1773. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of ancient and modern languages, Monboddo offers a comprehensive theory of linguistic evolution, arguing that the similarities and differences between languages can be traced to a single, universal human language. This book is a classic of linguistic philosophy and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of language and linguistics.

Mixed ed. Vols. 1-3 only (of 6). Vol. 1 second edition "with large additions and corrections"; the ESTC states that Vol. 1 was reprinted as a "second" edition in 1774 as the publishers discovered they had not printed a sufficient number. Library buckram, spines faded. Burnett's work, a landmark of historical linguistics, analyzes the structure of primitive and modern languages, arguing that mankind had evolved language skills in response to his changing environment and altering social structures. Burnett was the first to discover that primitive languages create unnecessarily lengthy words for rather simple concepts. He also traced the origin of modern European languages.

Hardcover/Original Wraps. Zustand: Very Good+. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover/Original Wraps. Formerly owned by Oliver Sacks. Burnett's work, a landmark of historical linguistics, analyzes the structure of primitive and modern languages, arguing that mankind had evolved language skills in response to his changing environment and altering social structures. Burnett was the first to discover that primitive languages create unnecessarily lengthy words for rather simple concepts. He also traced the origin of modern European languages. Formerly owned by Right of Honorable Thomas Earl of Ha(d)dington. Thomas Hamilton, 9th Earl of Haddington, (21 June 1780 1 December 1858), known as Lord Binning from 1794 to 1828, was a Scottish Conservative statesman. From the library of Dr. Oliver Sacks, the renowned neurologist, author, and educator. He was, in his life, celebrated for his contributions to the understanding of the human brain and his ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to a broader audience. In doing so, he highlighted the profound impact of neurological disorders on human identity and experience. His library is a reflection of this remarkable polymath's questing mind. Shaken, but intact, shelf wear and bumped corners, foxing throughout, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Full tree calf, gilt spine title on red leather labels, gilt spine compartments. 8vo. 490, 588, 466pp. Bookplate on ffep.

Chips to spine labels of vols. I & II. Foxing. Vol. II subtitle: "To Which Are Annexed, Three Dissertations, viz. 1. Of the Formation of the Greek Language. 2. Of the Sound of the Greek Language. 3. Of the Composition of the Antients; and particularly of that of Demosthenes." James Burnett, Lord Monboddo (1714 - 1799) was a judge by profession but a scholar of linguistic evolution in his spare time. He is best remembered today as a founder of comparative historical linguistics. Burnett's multi-volume work presents many unusual opinions, such as that the ourang-utan is a class of the human species and its inability to speak like us merely an accident. Some writers credit him with anticipating in principle the idea of natural selection that was developed into a scientific theory by Charles Darwin. Mixed-edition sets like this one are not uncommon for this work. Vols. I and III were reprinted as a "second edition" in 1774 and 1786 after the publishers discovered they had not printed a sufficient number. Isaac Hawkins Browne (1745 1818) was a Tory politician, industrialist, essayist, and lord of the manor of Badger, Shropshire. It appears this set came from the manor library, although the house has been demolished. Vols. I & III are stated Second Editions.

In den WarenkorbFirst editions of vol. II-VI, second edition of vol. I; the complete set - published over near two decades - of Burnett's vast study of language, the first major British contribution to the enlightenment debate on the subject. The work is one of the major 18th century studies of language, challenging many of the prevailing philosophical ideas and maintaining "that the faculty of speech is not the gift of nature to man, but, like many others, is acquired by him; that not only there must have been society before language was invented, but that it must have subsisted a considerable time, and other arts have been invented, before this most difficult one was found out; which appears to me of so difficult invention, that it is not easy to account how it could at all have been invented" (p. 12). This work was much ridiculed in England; Johnson said that "Monboddo does not know that he is talking nonsense". Along with Harris' Hermes, it was one of the main targets for Tooke in The Diversions of Purley. But Monboddo was better appreciated in Germany, where Herder wrote a Preface for a translation. Alston records that volumes I and III were reprinted in 1774 and 1786 when the publishers discovered that they had not printed a sufficient number, resulting in various combinations of mixed sets (as here); to find a complete set in a uniform contemporary binding is most unusual. Alston, III, 842; ESTC T42128 (vol. I); T42127 (vols. II-VI). 6 vols, octavo (215 x 127 mm). Portrait frontispiece in 6th vol. Contemporary quarter calf, spines lettered in gilt, marbled sides; vols. V and VI rebacked to style. Bookplate of Lord Sandys to front pastedowns. Restoration to joints and extremities with superficial splits remaining, some darkening at foot of spines, contents with some intermittent foxing but generally clean. A very good set.
