Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Scottish Language: Containing an Explanation of the Words Used by the Most Celebrated Ancient and Modern Scottish Authors Language, like every thing human, has its rise, progress, and decline. In the earlier stages of society, when man's wants are comparatively few, his vocabulary is small, as civilization encreases, his language extends, till fastidiousness of taste introducing false ornament, it declines, and gives place to a more vigorous successor. Such, at least, has been the brief history of what Europeans term the learned languages. Modern tongues have not been more stable. Neither Italian, French, or English are Bow what they were some centuries ago. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
