Hermes: Or A Philosophical Inquiry Concerning Universal Grammar is a book written by James Harris in 1786. The book is a philosophical inquiry into the concept of universal grammar. The author explores the idea that there is a universal structure to language that is innate to humans and is the basis for all languages. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of universal grammar. The first part examines the nature of language and the relationship between language and thought. The second part explores the structure of language and the different elements that make up language. The third part examines the relationship between language and society, and how language is used to communicate social and cultural values. The final part explores the role of language in the development of human knowledge and understanding. Throughout the book, the author draws on examples from different languages to illustrate his arguments and theories. The book is considered a classic work in the field of linguistics and has had a significant influence on the study of language and grammar.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
