Description

"And while, as the Language of a rude and uncivilized people, it has, as might be expected, many deficiencies, when compared with the highly cultivated and polished languages of Europe, it has, at the same time, in some respects, a force, a simplicity, and precision, as in the instance of the personal pronouns, that may perhaps be superior to them all."--p. i.
