Book Details
First Sentence
""IT is a just and true remark of the Rev. Mr. Gutzlaff," observes the learned Mr. Duponceau, "that nothing has so puzzled the learned world, in Europe, as the Chinese language;" and, notwithstanding the success which attended the endeavors of Mr. Duponceau to dispel the fanciful and extravagant notions which then prevailed respecting it, the results of more sober investigations have left this remarkable structure, still, as great a puzzle as ever."
