To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A remarkable fact, noticeable in a comparative reading of French, English, and German writers is that, generally speaking, the German at- titude was more humane and lenient than that of the other na- tions. Indeed Duponceau, one of the greatest scholars of the Indian, sums up the attitude of nations other than German very well in the words, "But who cares for the poor American Indians? They are savages and barbarians and live in the woods ; must not their languages be savage and barbarian like ...them?" '^ But of the Teutonic writers he remarks: "I must take this opportunity to express my astonishment at the great knowledge which the literati of Germany appear to possess of America and of the customs, manners, and languages of its original inhabitants. Strange that we should have to go to German universities to become acquainted with our own coun- try. " Before discussing Talvj's peculiar contributions to the subject it may be well to consider what, in general, had been done by the writers of various nations, and in particular by the Germans.
