Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Original Unity and Recent Origin of the Human Race: Derived From a Comparison of the Languages of Asia, Europe, Africa, and America; Being an Inquiry How Far the Differences in the Languages of the Globe Are Referrible to Causes Now in Operation
My Lady,
This volume has been published in consequence of the following opinion expressed by Dr. Prichard on an Essay written by the Author for a National Society, in whose proceedings your Ladyship takes a lively interest:
"This Essay contains very valuable matter, which "I trust we shall hereafter see in print."
Notwithstanding the deference which I consider due to the sentiments of so eminent an authority, had I committed to the press, without revision, the hastily-written Essay to which he was thus pleased to refer, I might have conformed to the letter, but I should have violated the spirit of this very flattering recommendation.
