This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Schmidt was born in Prenzlau, Province of Brandenburg.
He was educated at Bonn and at Jena where he studied philology (historical linguistics) with the great Indo-Europeanist August Schleicher and specialized in Indo-European, especially Slavic, languages.
He developed the Wellentheorie ("wave theory") of language development. He earned a doctorate in 1865 and worked from 1866 as a teacher at a gymnasium in Berlin. In 1868 Schmidt was invited by the University of Bonn to take a position as professor of German and Slavic languages.
In Bonn he published the work Die Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse der indogermanischen Sprachen ("The Relationships of the Indo-Germanic Languages", 1872), which presented his Wellentheorie ("wave theory").
According to this theory, new features of a language spread from a central point in continuously weakening concentric circles, similar to the waves created when a stone is thrown into a body of water. This should lead to convergence among dissimilar languages.
The theory was directed against the doctrine of sound laws introduced by the Neogrammarians in 1870. From 1873 to 1876 Schmidt was a professor of philology at the University of Graz in Austria.
In 1876 he returned to Berlin, where he worked as a professor at Humboldt University.
He died in Berlin at the age of fifty-seven.
