The 1874 edition, often subtitled The East and West; Religion and Mythology; Orthography and Phonology; Hindu Astronomy, compiles several of Whitney's previous essays and lectures. Key areas of focus include: Comparative Religion & Mythology: Whitney explores the evolution of religious thought and myths, particularly focusing on the connections between Eastern and Western traditions. The Science of Language: He argues that language is a social institution—an acquired tool rather than an innate biological trait—a view that significantly influenced later linguists like Ferdinand de Saussure. Oriental Studies: The work provides deep dives into ancient Indian culture, including Hindu Astronomy and the analysis of the Veda and Avesta. Orthography and Phonology: Whitney examines the systems of spelling and the sounds of language, emphasizing a rigorous, evidence-based approach to linguistic history.
