The Effect Of The Misuse Of Familiar Words On The Character Of Men And The Fate Of Nations (1856)

The Effect Of The Misuse Of Familiar Words On The Character Of Men And The Fate Of Nations is a book written by David Urquhart in 1856. The book is a philosophical treatise on the impact of the misuse of language on the character of individuals and the destiny of nations. Urquhart argues that the misuse of words can lead to a degradation of moral values, as well as a breakdown of social and political institutions. He contends that the misuse of language can be used as a tool of manipulation by those in power, leading to the subjugation of the masses. Urquhart's work is a call to arms for individuals to take responsibility for the words they use and to use them wisely, in order to ensure a better future for themselves and their communities. The book is a thought-provoking examination of the power of language and its impact on society, and it remains relevant today, more than a century and a half after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
