Excerpt from The British Controversialist, and Literary Magazine, 1866: Devoted to the Impartial and Deliberate Discussion of Important Questions in Religion, Philosophy, History, Politics, Social Economy, Etc., And to the Promotion of Self-Culture and General Education The use of language for the carrying on of the common and ordinary affairs of olvll, social, family, and personal life has not yet received a distinct name. This has arisen, perhaps, from its fleet ingly evanescent nature, perhaps from the want of occasion to connote with precision speech employed in converse and business as distinguished from that used in recordin communicating, and storing up thought. One form of it indes has been called talk, another conversation, and a third oratory; but we have no single general term indicative of oral language: the usual speech of every day brings out the contrast between it and that recorded, trans missible, and preserved thought, which we denominate literature.
