Families of Speech is a book that contains four lectures delivered by Frederic William Farrar before the Royal Institution of Great Britain in March 1869. The book was published in 1870 and explores the origins and development of different families of speech, including the Indo-European, Semitic, Hamitic, and Turanian families. Farrar discusses the similarities and differences between these families, as well as their historical and cultural contexts. The book also examines the evolution of language and its relationship to human thought and civilization. Families of Speech is a fascinating study of linguistics and provides insight into the diversity and complexity of human language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
