I could add here at least 250 to 
the 251 of Kennedy, if it were not 
too tedious and long. But I can 
safely vouch that all the 566 radical 
roots of peculiar meaning, forming 
the base of the Sanscrit, are to be 
found in the English roots, or if a 
few are lacking it is merely owing 
to some having become obsolete 
through the lapse of nearly 5000 
years, when the Yavanas, Sacas and 
Pallis separated from their Hindu 
brethren, and the revolution of 6 or 
7 successive dialects formed by each, 
till they met again in the English. 
Kennedy has even some obsolete 
English and Scotch words, now out 
of use, which are derived from the 
Sanscrit. 
This enquiry is not merely useful 
to unfold the origin and revolutions 
of our language; but it applies more 
or less to all the languages of Eu- 
rope : which were formed in a simi- 
lar way by dialects of former lan- 
guages. Since every dialect be- 
comes a language whenever it is 
widely spread and cultivated by a 
polished nation. Thus the French, 
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Ro- 
manic and Yalaquian are now be- 
come languages with new dialects of 
their own, although they are in fact 
mere dialects of the Latin and Cel- 
tic. 
The physical conformation and 
features of all the European and 
Hindu nations are well known to 
agree, and naturalists consider them 
as a common race. The historical 
traditions of these nations confirm 
the philological and physical evi- 
dence. All the European nations 
came from the East or the West 
of the Imaus table land of Asia, the 
seat of the ancient Hindu empires 
of Balk, Cashmir and Iran. The 
order of time in which the Asiatic 
nations entered Europe to colonize 
it was as follows, 1 or most ancient. 
1. Esquas or Os cans or Iberians or 
Cantabrians . 
2. Gomarians or Cumras or Celts 
or Gaels. 
3. Getes or Goths or Scutans or 
Scythians. 
4. Finns or Laps or Sames. 
5. Tiras or Thracians, or Illy- 
rians or Slaves. 
6. Pallis or Pelasgians or Hellenes 
or Greeks. 
The settlement in Europe of these 
last is so remote as to be involved 
in obscurity. But their geographical 
positions, traditions and languages 
prove their relative antiquity. The 
Greek language is one of those that 
has been most permanent, having 
lasted 2500 years from Homer’s 
time to the Turkish conquest. Yet 
it sprung trom the Pelagic and has 
given birth to the Romaic or mo- 
dern Greek dialects. C. S. R.

4. ANTHROPOLOGY. 
The Fundamental Base of the Philosophy 
of Human Speech , or Philology and 
Ethnology. 
By C. S. Rapines q,ue. 
The natural history of man and 
mankind includes so many branches, 
that some of them have been deemed 
worthy of the proud title of separate 
sciences. Such are Philology or the 
science of human speech, and lan- 
guages, with Ethnology or the know- 
ledge of nations of a same speech, 
which are so intimately connected 
that they can hardly be separated. 
Ethnology is a very modern science, 
even later than Geology, and as yet 
hardly known in America, although 
much cultivated latterly in Germany 
and France, being considered an in- 
dispensable auxiliary to history and 
geography. 
Horne Tooke has long ago said 
that languages cannot lie ; and the 
most eminent linguists have all
