"However, the mounting spate of books, magazines and newspapers published in all langauges of the world demands that librarians, bibliographers, newsmen, editors, book sellers and all others concerned with printed matter in different languages should be able to identify the language of a printed work without being familiar with this language. It is this need that the present book is intended to meet. [. . .] The present guide comprises more than two hundred languages in which nearly all of the world's printed matter is published." - from the preface. ; 8vo.
