1870530Montreal 1870. About very good. 17pp. Quarto. Original plain wrappers bound into contemporary buckram gilt spine label. Light foxing and wear to buckram. Front hinge cracking front endpaper detaching. Two chips at fore-edges of final two leaves not affecting text otherwise internally clean. Accomplished in a neat legible hand. A fascinating if somewhat eccentric manuscript essay on South American linguistic history and its supposed connections to Gaelic languages by a Scottish-Canadian professor at the Presbyterian College of Montreal. John Campbell was principally a professor of church history but was also a serious student of anthropology philology and linguistics and published numerous articles and monographs on a wide variety of subjects. Campbell was born in Edinburgh and immigrated to Montreal via London and Toronto in the 1870s where he was appointed to a professorship in 1873. His wide-ranging publications include scholarly and polemical essays in various academic journals a volume of children's story sermons and a novel set in the Muskoka region of Ontario. His most well-known work was a two volume ethnographic study entitled "The Hittites" in which he claimed that the people were descendants of the Japanese Basques and Peruvians among others. "Later critics with reason considered him an academic dilettante" - Canadian Dictionary of Biography. The present work continues such grandiose thinking and claims a linguistic and genealogical link between the Aymara peoples of Peru and Bolivia and the Celts. Through the comparison of selected words in Aymara Quechua Gaelic and Welsh complete with several tables and appendices Campbell argues that "The large number of words identical in form and meaning in the two languages suffice to establish the common origin of Celts and Aymaras." The essay continues to make additional comparisons with Quechua and cites the research of Hyde Clark as the inspiration for its line of inquiry. Campbell likely prepared this essay as one of his many contributions to Canadian academic journals. In an article he published in the journal of the Royal Society of Canada at the turn of the 20th century he states that 'Some years previous I pointed out a large Celtic element in the dialects of Peru and notably in that of the Aymaras." Hyde Clark references Campbell's theories in this area in his own book "The Khita and Khita-Peruvian Epoch" published in 1877. Nevertheless we are unable to locate a published version of this essay. A strange yet enthusiastic work asserting a tenuous theory of native Peruvian language. unknown books

Sir Thomas Francis Wade 1818-1895 a British soldier turned diplomat and Sinologist was the first professor of Chinese at Cambridge University. He developed a system of romanizing the Chinese language based on pronunciation conventions of the Beijing dialect. The system was later modified by Herbert Giles another diplomat and scholar who had succeeded him as professor of Chinese at Cambridge and became known as the Wade-Giles system. It was widely used throughout much of the twentieth century to represent the sounds of Mandarin in Western publications and is still used to represent some personal and place names. This work was prepared with the express purpose of preparing individuals destined to join Her Majesty's Consular Service in China with the written language of government as it appeared in books and in official correspondence.
