Historical View Of The Language And Literature Of The Slavic Nations PDF Download

Historical View of the Languages and Literature of the Slavic Nations By Therese Albertine The earliest history of the Slavic nations is involved in a darkness, which all the investigations of diligent and sagacious modern historians and philologians have not been able to clear up. The analogy between their language and the Sanscrit, seems to indicate their origin from India; but to ascertain the time at which they first entered Europe, is now no longer possible. Probably this event took place seven or eight centuries before the Christian era, on account of the over-population of the regions on the Ganges. Herodotus mentions a people which he called Krovyzi, who lived on the Ister. There is even [pg.2] now a tribe in Russia, whose name at least is almost the same. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
