About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1730. Excerpt: ... seeing it comes from one who by his great Skill in Languages, both ancient and modern, was very well qualified to judge of this Question. And now, Sir, I shall venture to lay down my Proposition at Length.

Here I beg Leave to enlarge upon what just hinted at already, which is, that these general Marks, which run through all these Tongues, and which truly separate the Eastern from the Western Languages, have none of them disappeared, or been shifted from one to the other, for near three Thousand Years. They appear in every Book of the Old Testament, from Moses down to Malachi; in the Chaldee Paraphrasts, in the Syriac Versions of the Bible, and Liturgies; in the Misha, and the Gemara; and in every other Rabbinical Book Book (as far at least as I can judge by Citations) from the Misna, which I take to be the most ancient Book next the Bible in the Hebrew Language, down to those Jewish Writers, who to this Day swarm in Holland, and Germany, and Poland, and Turkey. All the Marks of the Arabic Language before specified, are observable in the Alcoran, which is about eleven Hundred Years old, and may undoubtedly be found in every other...
