Excerpt from The Cradle of the Aryans
When, in the closing years of the last century, Sir W. Jones discovered to the Western world the secret of Sanskrit and taught them that in the far East, the accepted cradle of the human race, there existed a language of immemorial antiquity, the germs of which showed unmis takable identity with European speech at large, it seemed for a moment as though the primitive, perhaps the universal, language of mankind had been unearthed, and India was its) home. Study, analysis, and reflection soon dispelled the dream; and the true character of the great indo-european unity, which Schlegel was perhaps the first to apprehend, was established by the genius and industry of Big), who mapped out for all time the broad general demarcations which define the separate groups of closely correlated families of Speech. Studentswofhlanguage have ever since that time been busily engaged in cross-questioning the evidence of language, and trying to extort thence the secret of the prehistoric movements, culture, and dwelling-places of indo-european man.
