Excerpt from Homophonic Vocabulary: Containing More Than Two Thousand Words Having a Like Sound, and Like Signification in Ten Languages, to Wit; English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, Danish-Norwegian, Swedish, and Russian
The question of a common language is of the greatest importance to the human race, and is now more than ever engaging the attention of the civilized world.
In any attempt that may be made to solve this great problem, the first thing to be done is to preserve and use what we already have in common. The words or modes of expression which are the same or nearly the same in various languages, should be made the basis on which to build.
If a new language is to be formed, it must be constructed from these materials.
