Note 155 — Chapter IV · NOMADISM AND AGRICULTURE.
R. (Russell) Martineau translation
On the disappearance of individuality in direct proportion to antiquity, see Wilhelm von Humboldt, Ueber die Verschiedenheit des menschlichen Sprachbaues, Berlin 1836, p. 4. Lazarus appears to concede to the individual too much influence on the origin of speech; see Leben der Seele II. 115.
