They revived the study of Hebrew; they were among the first to begin researches in Egyptology; with Kir. Cher they deciphered the hieroglyphics of Coptic; with De Nobili and others they introduced the study of Sanscrit and Teleuga and Tamil, the classic epic in the latter language being the work of a Jesuit missionary; they taught modern Greek and Illyrian and Turkish; they built up the old Etruscan; they traced the laws of language for China and Japan; they constructed grammars for the Bretons... and Basques and Hungarians; they compiled lexi- cons of the tongues of the savages of every country, from the African deserts to the slopes of the Pacific. Through this vast country of ours, from Canada down through Mexico and Brazil and Chili and Peru and Paraguay, the first care of the missionary, while imparting the truths of salvation, was to systematize the barbarous idiom and trace its construction and order and make it a coherent medium of human speech; and they are doing it now for the remnants of the tribes of the Rocky Mountains and the scattered savages of frozen Alaska.
