Neology Not True, And Truth Not New: Three Short Treatises (1861)

By Charles Hebert

Book Overview

""Neology Not True, And Truth Not New: Three Short Treatises"" is a collection of essays written by Charles Hebert and originally published in 1861. The essays explore the topics of neology, or the creation of new words, and the idea that truth is not a new concept. Hebert argues that neology is not necessary for the development of language and that it can actually be harmful to communication. He also discusses the idea that truth is timeless and has been understood by previous generations, and that there is no need to constantly search for new truths. The book provides a unique perspective on language and truth, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
