Summary

"Chips from a German Workshop, Volume 4" by F. Max Müller is a compilation of late 19th-century essays exploring the science of language. It presents lectures and writings examining comparative philology, which is the study of language and its history, along with broader linguistic topics. This book underlines the importance of establishing a strong foundation for language sciences, such as the proposal for a Comparative Philology professorship at Oxford University. Müller highlights the importance of studying Sanskrit , classical languages, and comparative grammar, while also emphasizing the collaborative learning environment for students and scholars.
