Abstract
Were vocabularies formed of all the languages spoken in North and South America, preserving their appelation of the most common objects in nature, of those which must be present to every nation, barbarians or civilized, with the inflections of their names and verbs, their principles of regimen and concord, and these deposited in all the public libraries, it would furnish opportunities to those skilled in the languages of the old world to compare them with the new, now or at any future time, and hence to construct the best evidence of the derivation of this part of the human race.—Thomas Jefferson (in Notes on the State of Virginia)
