My Defigner never pradis'd before this Journey, but 
feems to improve daily, and would make fomething of 
it could we meet with either fome Perfons or Books to 
put him in the Way. You have done me, I doubt nor, 
an unexprefTible Kindnefs, by procuring a Correfpon- 
dence with Mr. Pezron ; I am yet fo much a Stranger to 
his Works, that I never heard of his Name. His Notion 
of the Greek, Roman, and Celtic Languages being of 
one common Origin, agrees exadlly with my Obferva- 
tions : But I have not advanced (b far, as to difco\ er 
the Celtic to be the Mother-Tongue, tho' perhaps he 
may not want good Grounds (at leaft plaufible Argu- 
ments) for fuch an Aflertion. The Irilh comes in with 
uSj and is a Dialed of the Old Latin, as the Britifb is 
of the Greek : But the Gothick or Teutonick, tho' it has 
alfb much Aiffinity with us, muft needs make a Band 
apart. I fliall fpeedily write to him, and trouble him 
with a few Queries about their Armorican Antiqui- 
ties, &c.
