FOOTNOTES
1 See notes to D’Oyly and Mant’s Bible. The differences, it is
supposed, may have consisted in a different mode of pronouncing the
same words, such as exists in various English counties, to a
sufficient extent to make the speakers mutually unintelligible! See,
also, Eichhorn’s view.
2 Lyell’s Geology, vol. i. p. 230.
3 Consolations in Travel.
4 Discourse on the Origin and Families of Nations.
5 Mithridates, vol. i.
6 Asia, by Carl Ritter and others.
7 Genesis, c. iii. v. 7, “And they sewed fig-leaves together, and made
themselves aprons.”
8 Adelung quotes Zimmerman to the effect that of the animals found in
Europe all have been derived from Asia, with the exception of
sixteen or seventeen kinds, and these are mostly Mice and Bats.
9 “A Tree well known in India, called the Tschiampa. It fruit is like
an Apple, and it is said to bear both good and evil fruit!”

British Isles.
17 The Greek, Russian, and German, have all been shown to belong to
what are called the Indo-European class of languages. The Finnish,
Vater states to be in its roots identical with the German.
18 See Dugald Stewart, on the Active and Moral Faculties.
19 In connexion with this subject I may refer to an article
distinguished by great genius and profound philosophical reasoning,
which lately appeared in Chambers’s Journal, under the title of
“Thoughts on Nations and Civilization.” (See Number for May 21st,
1842.)
20 This sept were also generally termed the “gentlemanly” Mandans. The
recent destruction of this warm-hearted tribe by the smallpox is one
of the most heart-rending tragedies in history!
21 Bell’s Geography.
22 The African names for “The Nose” do not occur in Appendix A, but
they are noticed elsewhere in this work. The names for “The Eye” are
explained among words for “The Sun,” &c. of which they are generally
derivatives.
