Duodecimo, 252 pages, publisher's embossed cloth, snagged at head of spine [ Not in Nietz, OLD TEXTBOOKS ]. Rev. Balch was a Universalist minister who was a founder of St. Lawrence University, where he presented these Lectures on Language. "There is no subject so deeply interesting and important to rational beings as the knowledge of language . there is no other so closely interwoven with all the affairs of human life, social, moral, political and religious. . The author is aware that the principles he has advocated are new and opposed to established systems and the common method of inculcation. But the difficulties acknowledged on all hands to exist, is a sufficient justification of this humble attempt." - Preface.
