Synopsis
Excerpt from The Organs of Speech: And Their Application in the Formation of Articulate Sounds
The possession of speech has always been considered as a distinctive mark of the human race, and indeed, as far as we can learn from history or ethnography, in no age and in no part of the globe do we meet with a people without a language. Although races are known which in this respect are at a very low standard of development, and which possess a language which is very poor both in its form and in the expression of ideas, they still nevertheless do possess a language, which answers to their humble condition and is sufficient for their different wants.
