Excerpt from Comparative Philology of the Old and New Worlds in Relation to Archaic Speech
I have to acknowledge much indebtedness to the Rev. C. J. Ball for his revision of the Chinese, Accadian and Assyrian portion in Part I. Also to Mr. A. G. Ellis, Mr. C. Bendall, Mr. J. F. Blumhardt, and Mr. F. L. Griffith, of the British Museum, for a number of corrections and suggestions in Parts I. And II., more especially in Oriental and Semitic Languages; as well as to Professor A. H. Sayce, Mr. Hyde Clarke and Mr. Robert Brown, jun., and other gentlemen. The Egyptian is mainly taken from Pierret, but has been in part subsequently added to or corrected.
