Excerpt from A Grammar of the Turkish Language
Of all the people who have issued from Central Asia, the Turks are perhaps the most interesting. They present to us materials for the study of the human race. Emerging from a primitive state of society, we view them passing through the various gradations which mark the progressive advancement of manldnd, until arriving at the highest degree of civilization that the Asiatic race has ever attained. While the accomplished Osmanlis are making rapid strides towards rivalling the most learned and polished of the European States, their wandering brethren in the farthest North, whose language is the only proof of their relationship, are plunged in the depths of primitive ignorance and barbarism; and these form the two extremities of that extended chain of society and civiliza tion, of which the connecting links are regularly formed by the various inter mediate nations of Turkish origin. The Scythians 'of antiquity, the Tartars and Turks of later ages, they have influenced the destinies of half the globe. Overturning empires, founding kingdoms, they possessed themselves of some of the fairest regions of the earth. Bending beneath the rushing tide of conquest, the Empire of China laid its tribute at their feet. Italy, Germany, France, and all the countries of Northern Europe, felt their power. The thrones of Persia, India, Syria, Egypt, and Arabia, were theirs. The dominion Of the Khalifs was crushed beneath their feet; and the ruins of the Eastern Empire formed the foundation of a powerful kingdom, which all the united strength of Christendom could not subvert, and which still maintains a great political consequence in the eyes of Modern Europe. But.the possession of those arts which do not elevate the man above the brute creation would entitle them to little Of our attention. The beasts of the desert might equally have effected the destruction of mankind: and it is only when we view them cultivating the arts of peace, encouraging and pro teeting literature, and making advances in science and learning, that we discover an object worthy of our contemplation.

Excerpt from A Grammar of the Turkish Language
The inhabitants of the vast countries of Central Asia, extending from the Northern Ocean to the confines of Persia, India and China, and from the Gulf of Corea to the shores of the Caspian, have received from the nations of Europe the undistinguishing name of Tartarsa. This appellation, unknown to most of the people to whom it is applied, is a corruption of the Oriental Tatar, the designation of a tribe derived, according to Abulghazi and other Mohammedan authors, from a prince of that name, who, with his brother Mongol, was descended from the race of Turk. Some of the Eastern writers have derived the name Tatar from a river, on the banks of which was the original seat of this tribe; but all coincide in employing the term as the designation of a particular body of people, and not as that of a race. The alteration of this name into Tartar, by the Latin writers of the thirteenth century, appears to have arisen from the similarity of its sound to their own Tartarus; the corruption being rendered somewhat appropriate by the terrors which the incursions of Tchingis Khan and his descendants excited.
