The idea and conception of _Panslavism_ are the produce of the latent political events on the Continent, viz. the idea of a _re-crystallisation_ of a race of people comprising even now sixty millions, and which in former epochs extended from Archangelsk to Tissalonichi, where it bordered on the abodes of the Hellenic race. Having lost their primeval (Indian) civilisation by migrations which extend to times historical, the only monuments testifying to their most ancient origin are the languages of these various tribes,--the Russians, Czechs, Poles, &c. But these languages have all acquired a more modern type, by a great susception of Greek, Tartarian, Latin, Turkish, and German phrases and constructions. Fortunately, however, there have been other branches of this huge nation-tree, which, settled on the shores of the German ocean, afar from the tracts of migration and the stations of war, have escaped the influence of the changes contingent on the contentions and intercourse of men. And thus, the _Old Prussian_, the _Lithuanian_, and the _Lettish_ tongues (dialects) have escaped, as it were, the changes of improvement, and have remained, in the mouth of aboriginal inhabitants, such as they were many centuries ago. If the mythology of the Slavian nations, and their universal complex of languages, are undoubtedly _Indian_ (Sanscrit), the above-named three dialects have retained _most_ of their primordial type. I subjoin the Lord's Prayer, written in these three ancient Slavonic dialects, now hardly understood by any other save those very same tribes. The approximation to Sanscrit is most striking, and deserves the notice of philologists. As a number of persons conversant with Sanscrit, and even the dialects spoken in India, are to be met with in the British capital, their attention is most respectfully called to these venerable remains of old _Panslavic_ tongues.

THE LORD'S PRAYER. _Old Prussian._ Tava nuson, kas tu essei en dangon, svintints virst tvais emnes; pereit tvais ryks; tvais quaits audasin kagi en dandon tyt deigi no semien, nuson deinennin geitien dais numans [=s]an deinan; bhe etverpeis numas nusons ausautins, kaimes etverpimai nusons au[=s]autenikamans; bhe ni veddeis mans em perbandasnan, [=s]lait isrankeis mans esse vissan vargan. _Lithuanian._ Tive musû, kurs essi danguie, te essie [=s]venē amas tavo vardas; te ateinie tavo karaliste; te nusidŭdie tavo vale, kaip danguie taip ir ant [=z]èmês; dŭna musû diesni[=s]ka dûk mums ir sa diena; ir attèisk mums musû kattes, kaip mes attèidsam savo kattiemus; ir ne vesk mus i pagundima, bet gèlbèk mus nŭ pikto. _Letton (Lettish.)_
