  Elements 
  of 
  comparative 
  philology. 
  London, 
  1862. 
  

  

  The 
  object 
  of 
  this 
  volume 
  is, 
  as 
  the 
  author 
  states 
  in 
  his 
  preface, 
  

   "to 
  lay 
  before 
  the 
  reader 
  the 
  chief 
  facts 
  and 
  the 
  chief 
  trains 
  of 
  rea- 
  

   soning 
  in 
  Comparative 
  Philology." 
  Among 
  the 
  great 
  mass 
  of 
  

   material 
  accumulated 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  a 
  share 
  is 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  lan- 
  

   guages 
  of 
  North 
  America. 
  The 
  remarks 
  under 
  these 
  are 
  often 
  taken 
  

   verbatim 
  from 
  the 
  author's 
  earlier 
  papers, 
  to 
  which 
  reference 
  has 
  

   been 
  made 
  above, 
  and 
  the 
  family 
  names 
  and 
  classification 
  set 
  forth 
  

   in 
  them 
  are 
  substantially 
  repeated.

  This 
  is 
  a 
  valuable 
  contribution 
  to 
  our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  Missouri

  tribes, 
  made 
  at 
  a 
  time 
  when 
  the 
  information 
  concerning 
  them 
  

  

  was 
  none 
  too 
  precise. 
  The 
  tribes 
  treated 
  of 
  are

  The 
  work 
  is 
  divided 
  into 
  three 
  parts. 
  (1) 
  Tentative 
  classification 
  

   of 
  the 
  languages 
  of 
  Mexico; 
  (2) 
  notes 
  on 
  the 
  immigration 
  of 
  the 
  

   tribes 
  of 
  Mexico; 
  (3) 
  geography 
  of 
  the 
  languages 
  of 
  Mexico. 
  

  

  The 
  author 
  states 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  no 
  knowledge 
  whatever 
  of 
  the 
  lan- 
  

   guages 
  he 
  treats 
  of. 
  All 
  he 
  attempts 
  to 
  do 
  is 
  to 
  summarize 
  the 
  

   opinions 
  of 
  others. 
  His 
  authorities 
  were 
  (1) 
  writers 
  on 
  native 
  gram- 
  

   mars; 
  (2) 
  missionaries; 
  (3) 
  persons 
  who 
  are 
  reputed 
  to 
  be 
  versed 
  in 
  

   such 
  matters. 
  He 
  professes 
  to 
  have 
  used 
  his 
  own 
  judgment 
  only 
  

   when 
  these 
  authorities 
  left 
  him 
  free 
  to. 
  do 
  so. 
  

  

  His 
  stated 
  method 
  in 
  compiling 
  the 
  ethnographic 
  map 
  was 
  to 
  place 
  

   before 
  him 
  the 
  map 
  of 
  a 
  certain 
  department, 
  examine 
  all 
  his 
  authori- 
  

   ties 
  bearing 
  on 
  that 
  department, 
  and 
  to 
  mark 
  with 
  a 
  distinctive 
  color 
  

   all 
  localities 
  said 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  a 
  particular 
  language. 
  When 
  this 
  

   was 
  done 
  he 
  drew 
  a 
  boundary 
  line 
  around 
  the 
  area 
  of 
  that 
  language. 
  

   Examination 
  of 
  the 
  map 
  shows 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  partly 
  expressed 
  on 
  it 
  

   the 
  classification 
  of 
  languages 
  as 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  part 
  of 
  his 
  text, 
  

   and 
  partly 
  limited 
  himself 
  to 
  indicating 
  the 
  geographic 
  boundaries
