Excerpt from The Origin of the English, Germanic and Scandinavian Languages and Nations: With a Sketch of Their Early Literature and Short Chronological Specimens of Anglo-Saxon, Friesic, Flemish, Dutch, German From the Moeso-Goths to the Present Time, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish

Language, philosophically considered, is not only a safe guide in tracing the origin and affinity of nations, but an important auxiliary in bearing its testimony to the truth of revelation. In the latter point of view, a clergyman cannot be out of his legitimate province, when investigating the origin and structure of languages.
