[Footnote 6: The earliest Slavic historian is the Russian monk Nestor, born in the year 1056. See below, in the History of the _Old Slavic_ and of the _Russian_ languages. The reader will there see, that even the authority and age of this writer has been in our days attacked by the hypercritical spirit of the modern Russian Historical school.] [Footnote 7: See Görres' _Mythengeschichte der Asiatischen Welt_, Heidelb. 1810.

He must mean the _Western_, and the _Southern_ AND _Eastern_.]. [Footnote 11: We acknowledge, however, that even this latter appellation admits of some restriction in respect to the Slovenzi or Windes of Carniola and Carinthia; who, notwithstanding their rather Western situation, belong to the Eastern race.] [Footnote 12: By Kopitar; see the _Wiener Jahrbücher_, 1822, Vol. XVII. Kastanica, Sitina, Gorica, and Prasto, are Slavic names. There is even a place called [Greek: Sklabochôri], _Slavic village_. Leake in his Researches observes that Slavic names of places occur throughout all Greece.]
