Whitney's Oriental and Linguistic Studies
February 6, 1873 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book entitled "Oriental and Linguistic Studies. The Veda, the Avesta, the Science of Language," by William Dwight Whitney. Whitney is surely happy in having connected his name and fame with the earliest literary monuments of the Indo-European race. This book provides a sufficient body of facts for a general understanding of the history of Vedic study, of the Vedas themselves and their relation to modern mind and life. The book includes an article on Indo-European Philology and Ethnology, a review of two essays disparaging Sanskrit studies, which presents the real claims of such studies with convincing clearness.
