Sample Chapter - Short History of Libraries, Printing and Language - Origin of Language

Short History of Libraries, Printing and Language

Origin of Language
Before there could be the written word, books and libraries, an oral language had to develop among humans. The origin of language remains one of history's deep-set mysteries. Linguists, psychologists, and biologists researching the origin of language have few clues to aid them in their quest. Obviously, no fossilized remains of spoken words remain, however scientists do have fossilized human remains to study. From this evidence, researchers can study the changes of human brain size, vocal cord development and other key factors in language development. Most researchers agree that sometime around 50,000 - 100,000 years ago something important happened because during that period art, ritualized objects and certain aspects of a civilized culture begin appearing. Around that time the vocal tract, which includes the mouth, tongue, and throat, changed shape. This permitted the human to use language like we know it. Many scientists think that language developed during that time, though it could have existed earlier in some form. Some think people learned to speak over a short period of time, however others believe it developed over a longer time, possibly arising out of sign language. They believe this system still exists among humans on certain levels. Others believe the ability to speak derived from a 'proto-language' that arose, allowing individuals to string individual words together to form a cogent thought. A form of proto-language still survives in young children learning to speak and in many people that try to communicate when they do not speak each others language. Scientists continue to research the origins of language and someday may discover how humans learned to master this important ingredient to human civilization.

Preview Chapter - 1776 - Timeline of United States History Series

March 23, 1776 - Congress Authorizes State Admiralty Courts
Various state governments had been issuing letters of marquee authorizing privateers to attack British shipping since hostilities had broken out in 1775. Connecticut had authorized its courts to act as admiralty courts in 1775, as had Virginia and Massachusetts. George Washington had also commissioned privateer vessels. These various courts differed in their rules of conduct for privateers. The Continental Congress formalized the process and created a uniform code of conduct for these courts with the passage of this act on March 23, 1776. Most of the states established admiralty courts during the remainder of 1776 and thereafter. New York did not establish an admiralty court due to the British occupation of the state, beginning in 1776.
Admiralty Court
An admiralty court has jurisdiction over all maritime contracts, torts, injuries, and offenses. One duty of the admiralty court was to decide if a prize taken in wartime by a privateer was a legal prize, under the terms of the letter of marquee. During the Revolutionary War most admiralty courts did not allow an appeal on a judgment to the Continental Congress. Of the twelve admiralty courts established, only Maryland and New Hampshire allowed an appeal to Congress. In the remainder a decision by a judge was final.
