11. In my work on Historical Palingenesy or the restoration of ancient
nations and languages presumed lost, I have been able to restore many of
all the parts of the world (but chiefly America and Europe) in the same
manner as I once did for the Haytian nation and language, whereby many
historical links will be evolved and traced. My process is similar to
that of Cuvier and the modern Paleontologists, who restore extinct
animals by fragments of their bones. I do the same with extinct
languages by fragments of their words and elements, discovered and put
together.
12. In result the monumental evidences combine with the philological to
descry and ascertain whatever is obscure in Ancient History. By their
mutual help and accordance, with the use of acurate[TN-27] comparisons in
both Hemispheres, we shall certainly be enabled to advance the
Archeological and Historical knowledge of Yore, beyond our most sanguine
expectation. The path is open and becoming easy to pursue; much
therefore will be achieved by following the comparative process and
discarding all the conjectural systems.
THE END.
