 iii   PREFACE
   An artificial language may be more regular, more perfect,   and easier to learn than a natural one.—Max Müller.
   The world is spinning fast down the grooves of change. The old   disorder changeth. Haply it is yielding place to new. The tongue is a   little member. It should no longer be allowed to divide the nations.
   Two things stand out in the swift change. Science with all its works   is spreading to all lands. The East, led by Japan, is coming into   line with the West.
   Standardization of life may fittingly be accompanied by   standardization of language. The effect may be twofold—Practical   and Ideal.
Practical.                      The World has a thousand tongues,
               Science but one:
            They'll climb up a thousand rungs
               When Babel's done.         
Ideal.                      Mankind has a thousand tongues,
               Friendship but one:
Banzai! then from heart and lungs
               For the Rising Sun.         
            W.J.C.         
Note.—The following pages have   had the advantage of being read in MS. by Mr. H. Bolingbroke Mudie,   and I am indebted to him for many corrections and suggestions.
 iv   AN INTERNATIONAL AUXILIARY LANGUAGE
Note.—To avoid repeating the   cumbrous phrase "international auxiliary language," the word   auxiliary is usually omitted. It must be clearly understood   that when "international" or "universal" language is spoken of,   auxiliary is also implied.
