Celtic Researches on the Origin, Traditions & Language of the Ancient Britons: With Some Introductory Sketches, on Primitive Society (Classic Reprint)

Preface :yjn-i -j Of all human attainments, the art, which enables man to communicate his opinions, or his feelings, in the shape of oral, and written language, is the,most precious in its value. By the chain of this magical tinion, those are incorporated, whom the distance of time, and of scene, would else have separated; the early, and the recent ages, meet; a barter of intellectual treasure is negociated, and the ci viU zed nations of the earth are like neighbouring families; in a word, all acquisitions to the use, and the ornament of the social world, are streams from this fountain.
