A Grammar Of The Cree Language: With Which Is Combined An Analysis Of The Chippeway Dialect - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

It has been truly observed, that with the abundant information we possess on all other subjects, it is astonishing to reflect how little correct philosophical knowledge we have of the real condition of Man in a state of nature. Nor is it difficult to account for this. Travellers give us ample accounts of the physical character and condition of the inhabitants of newly discovered or uncivilized countries they tell us of what is obvious to the senses and here their accounts end.. But Man is a compound subject. The mind and moral character are beyond their reach. A knowledge of these can be attained only through the medium of their Language, to acquire which, where it is merely oral, is a work of time, labour, and perseverance.
