Note 268 — Chapter XI · THE FUTURE OF LANGUAGE.
Reading edition
That there is more probability in favour of English becoming prevalent throughout the globe, than in favour of any other language acquiring a future universality, is admitted by all who have studied the subject. See Benloew, Aperçu Général, p. 92. Grimm, Ueber der Ursprung, p. 50. Russian is another language which probably has a great future.
