Excerpt from The One Primeval Language
Primeval source: in a word, to the language of the world before the Flood.
In the present work, the soundness of this great first principle of philology has been ai ready tested experimentally, at Sinai, and in Egypt; and, to the public at large, the experi mental results appear practically to have de monstrated its truth. From Sinai and Egypt I would now invite the reader to direct his attention eastwards, and cross with me the Euphrates. In entering upon this new and strange field, at once the seat of three of the greatest empires of the ancient world, and of three of the most mysterious vehicles of thought and speech, I would begin by a1rming, what I am prepared, I trust, to prove, that we change the characters, but not the language.
