Synopsis
Originally published in 1865, A Comparative Vocabulary Of Forty-Eight Languages was penned by Jacob Tomlin (1793-1880), a 19th century minister who was one of the first Protestant missionaries to reside in Thailand, arriving in 1828.
Tomlin's Comparative Vocabulary contains a list of 146 common English and Hebrew words and systematically compares them to ten language families representing all languages and dialects on Earth. The Table of Affinities located near the end of the book summarizes what Tomlin refers to as many painstaking years of labor and research.
What Tomlin's Table reveals is that English is the fourth most closely related language to Hebrew in all the world. Only Syriac, Arabic, and Saxon were found to have a higher affinity for the Hebrew language. As Tomlin describes in his Concluding Remarks, these findings bolster the Christian faith and increase intelligence on many intricate levels.
As an invaluable resource for historians, Bible students, and linguists, this copy of Comparative Vocabulary is a near-perfect facsimile of the original. Great care has been taken to leave the original work completely intact while also removing imperfections and blemishes often present in other reproductions of this same work.
