الصفحة 5 - The result appears to confirm the opinions already entertained on that subject by Mr. Du Ponceau, Mr. Pickering, and others ; and to prove that all the languages, not only of our own Indians, but of the native inhabitants of America, from the Arctic Ocean to Cape Horn, have, as far as they have been investigated, a distinct character common to all, and apparently differing from those of the other continent with which we are the most familiar.
الصفحة 46 - A proof of a higher kind is found in the analogies of science. We have seen the peculiar chronological system of the Aztecs; their method of distributing the years into cycles, and of reckoning by means of periodical series, instead of numbers. A similar process was used by the various Asiatic nations of the Mongol family, from India to Japan. Their cycles, indeed, consisted of sixty, instead of fifty-two years; and for the terms "Marco Polo, Viaggi, lib.
الصفحة 2 - ... qui présentent une analogie remarquable avec les flexions aryennes ; mais , le plus souvent , il offre tous les caractères d'une langue agglutinante ; il semble donc que je devrais le placer dans la famille touranienne plutôt que dans la famille aryenne, et le rapprocher du turc , du tibétain, du tamoul, plutôt que du sanscrit, du grec et de l'allemand.

الصفحة 46 - A correspondence quite as extraordinary is found between the hieroglyphics used by the Aztecs for the signs of the days, and those zodiacal signs which the Eastern Asiatics employed as one of the terms of their series. The symbols in the Mongolian calendar are borrowed from animals. Four of the twelve are the same as the Aztec. Three others are as nearly the same as the different species of the animals in the two hemispheres would allow. The remaining five refer to no creature then found in Anahuac.
الصفحة 31 - ... là par quelques-uns de ces accidents de navigation qu'ont pu constater presque tous les voyageurs européens. VIII. Soit purs, soit alliés à ces tribus nègres erratiques , ils ont formé des centres secondaires d'où sont parties de nouvelles colonies qui ont étendu de plus...
الصفحة 2 - ... prétention de soutenir que l'on doive retrouver dans ses formes secondaires toutes les formes correspondantes du sanscrit, du zend et des idiomes congénères. Le système grammatical du quichua diffère beaucoup du système grammatical des langues que l'on a seules jusqu'à présent appelées ariennes. Sa déclinaison contient, il est vrai, de véritables flexions qui présentent une analogie radicale avec les flexions ariennes ; mais, le plus souvent, il offre tous les caractères d'une langue...
الصفحة 2 - ... mais j'ai eu la bonne fortune de trouver récemment, dans un nouvel ouvrage de M. Ellis, l'exposé de la doctrine du linguiste montévidéen, par l'auteur lui-même. Voici comment s'exprime M. Lopez : « Quand je dis du quichua que c'est une langue aryenne, je ne voudrais pas que l'on s'exagérât par trop la portée et le sens de mes paroles. Je n'ai nullement la prétention de soutenir que l'on doive retrouver dans ses formes secondaires, toutes les formes correspondantes du sanscrit, du zend...
