Higher Education And A Common Language (1879)

Higher Education And A Common Language is a book written by Philip Gilbert Hamerton in 1879. The book argues that the study of language should be a central part of higher education, and emphasizes the importance of a common language for communication and understanding between people of different cultures and backgrounds. Hamerton explores the history of language and its evolution, as well as the role of language in shaping culture and society. He also discusses the benefits of learning multiple languages, and the ways in which language can be used to bridge gaps between individuals and communities. The book is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the role of language in education and society, and remains relevant today as a reflection on the importance of communication and understanding in a globalized world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
