Excerpt from On the Science of Language and Its Study: With Special Regard to South Africa
Thus to enlightened Englishmen is due the honour of having introduced and facilitated to European scholars the study of the Sanscrit language.
Without these helps and preparations Fred. Schlegel would never have been able to write his famous book on The Language and W'isdom of the Indians, and though a German scholar, he could not but attribute to Sir William Jones the priority of the ideas expounded in his work. August \vilhelm Schlegel and Lassen followed in revealing the wonderful 'mysteries of Indian literature, until Francis Bopp in 1816 gave us the first outline sketch of an Indo Germam'e Grammar, the precursor of his masterpiece, the Comparative Grammar of Sanscrit, Zend, Armenian, Greek, Latin, Lithuanian, Old Slavonian and German.
Next to him must be mentioned \vilhelm von Humboldt, the brother of the great naturalist, Alexander von Hum boldt. He laid the foundation of the Philosophy of Language in the introduction to his great work on the Kawi Language.
