SENSE AND SPEECH IN MAN. 255 



tinuous development in the progress of humanity, presents a 

 double aspect. From one point of view it appears as a 

 human faculty, from another as the result of human art. But 

 strictly it has no place among the works of man. Man has 

 no control over it ; he is merely an unconscious agent in its 

 changes and progress. The first actual addition made by 

 man to his faculty of speech is his written language, which 

 has been followed up by all those arrangements by which 

 thought and knowledge are recorded and transmitted through 

 space and time.
