Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Opening of the Ninth International Congress of Orientalists: Held in London, September 5, 1892
If we find the verbal augment in Sanskrit and Zend and then again in Armenian and Greek, we may be quite certain that these four languages did not invent it independently, but that it existed as an optional element in proto-aryan times.

Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Opening of the Ninth International Congress of Orientalists: Held in London, September 5, 1892
It is generally at the end, not at the beginning of scientific meetings that votes of thanks are proposed. But in our case, when we owe our very existence to the valuable help received from so many quarters, it seems but right that we should express our gratitude at the very outset.
Our first thanks are due to H. K. H. the Duke of York, for having granted us that sympathy and gracious support without which, I am afraid, our Congress would never have drawn its first breath, and our labours might indeed have been in vain.
We could not venture to disturb a father's grief and ask H. B. H. the Prince of Wales to grant us his royal protection. But His Royal Highness has testified the warm interest which he feels for our Congress, as for everything that is likely to draw the bonds of friendship between England and her great Indian Empire more closely together, by authorising H. R. H. the Duke of York to act at the present Congress, as the worthy successor of H. M. the King of Sweden, the Royal Patron of our last Congress.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book shows how Oriental scholarship has pushed back the boundaries of our collective histories by thousands of years and dramatically changed our understanding of prehistoric interactions between world civilizations. The author illuminates recent discoveries proving that in prehistoric times, language formed a bond of union between the ancestors of many Eastern and Western nations, while more recent discoveries have proved that in historic times also, language, which seemed to separate the great nations of antiquity, never separated the most important among them so completely as to make intellectual exchange between them impossible. Through the study of etymology, the author contends that language holds the monument of our fiercest intellectual battles and calls it scientistic etymology, the charm with which to call these ancient thoughts back to life. It is the study of words, the Science of Language, that has withdrawn the curtain which formerly concealed these ancient times and their intellectual struggles from the sight of historians. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
