Frontiers of Language

One OF the most interesting books
added al the public library 70 the de-
partment Of history is Frontiers OF
Language and Nationality" by Leon
Dominian. In the preface the author
says: This book is submitted as a
study in applied geography.
Its preparation grew out OF a de-
sire to trace the connection existing
between linguistic areas in Europe
and the subdivision Of the continent
into nations. The endeavor has been
made TO show that language exerts
a strong formative influence on ma
tionality because words express
thoughts and ideals.
But underlying the currents Of ma
tionaI feeling, or Of speech. is found
the persistent action Of the land or
Upon these foundations, linguistic
frontiers deserve recognition as the
symbol Of the divide between distinct
sets Of economic and social coudi-
tions."
The author is a graduate OF Roberts
college Constantinople, and he has
given particular attention TO the
Turkish situation because OF its I'M
portance in the whole European en-
tanglemeut.
Why The Book.
The book Is an outErowth OF a Sc
ries Of articles written for the Bulletin
Of the American Geographical society.

value is so great that il ought not to
