The Principles of Comparative Philology — A. H. Sayce (Trübner, 1875). A foundational 19th-century introduction to comparative linguistics by Archibald H. Sayce, this rare, readable volume surveys the principles, methods and key language-families that shaped early comparative philology. The present hardback edition (2nd ed., rev. & enl.) is offered in fair condition: sound binding, wear to boards, some age-toning and spotting to endpapers and occasional foxing to text-block — entirely intact and perfectly serviceable for reading or reference. 416 pages of compact, scholarly prose with from Oxford University lectures historically important for students of historical linguistics and Victorian scholarship. Ideal for collectors of 19th-century linguistics, university libraries, or anyone seeking an original Sayce text. Postage weight estimated; see item specifics for photos and condition points.

Store description
Private seller, selling my father's book collection. As a "reverend" his books were focused on religion and music. His hobbies are also reflected. This is far less about the money and more a labour of love to see his books go to good owners; please message me if you can help this to happen, or you have any questions at all.
