International Latin

Abstract

THE small band of scientific men who have long been convinced that in Latin we have at hand the best possible universal language for scientific purposes will be gratified to note the matter has recently come to the tore in your columns, though the regrettable cause be the death of an eminent man. The urgent need of an international medium of scientific communication has by now become sufficiently obvious, and has led, not only to the advocacy of Esperanto, but to the manufacture, mainly in Germany and by typically German methods, of yet another “language,” understood to be specially aimed at scientific requirements.
