On Shibboleths

By William Samuel Lilly

Book Overview

On Shibboleths is a book written by William Samuel Lilly that explores the concept of shibboleths, which are words or phrases that are used to identify members of a particular group. The book delves into the historical and cultural significance of shibboleths, examining how they have been used throughout history to distinguish between different groups of people. Lilly also discusses the ways in which shibboleths have been used in literature, politics, and popular culture, and how they continue to play a role in modern society. The book is a fascinating exploration of a little-known aspect of human communication, and will appeal to anyone interested in language, culture, and identity.1892. If the following pages contain anything helpful toward the solution of the problems which Lilly discusses, it is largely due to the masters of Teutonic thought cited by him from time to time. It has been their mission to reassert, in the language proper to the age, the idea of perfection as an inward condition of mind and spirit: to maintain the truth, which underlies all rational philosophy, that the great mechanism of the world exists for something beyond itself: that is exists for the realization of moral worth, worth in character and in conduct.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
