Excerpt from An Universal Alphabet, Grammar, and Language: Containing a Scientific Classification of the Radical Elements of Discourse: And Illustrative Translations From the Holy Scriptures and the Principal British Classics; To Which Is Added, a Dictionary of the Language
I am far from superstitious, perhaps too much inclined to doubt, yet I must confess, that with regard to this last discovery, I have long felt as though I had been no more than a mere instrument, accomplishing the will of another; and that the direction of my thoughts, and my ultimate convictions, were only a part of the development of my mind, enforced and controlled by some internal law, which ensured its own effects without any original exercise of my own reason. One thing is certain, I have now no recollection of the process which ultimately revealed to me a knowledge of the power and essential importance of these nasal and vocal letters.
