The probable result of the construction of such a language would be its eventual adoption by every civilized nation ... [and thus] the establishment of a Universal Language. ... [p. xxv] Nothing, indeed, would conduce more directly to bring about a golden age of union and harmony among the several nations and races of mankind than the removal of that barrier to the interchange of thought and mutual good understanding between man and man, which is now interposed by the diversity of their respective languages.   Google-1   Google-2
