- Jones was the first English scholar to master Sanskrit, and the immense development of comparative philology which was to arise from the knowledge of it was foreshadowed by him in a sentence in a private letter dated 27 Sept. 1787: «You would be astonished at the resemblance between that language [Sanskrit] and both Greek and Latin» (Lord Teignmouth, Memoirs of Sir William Jones, ed. 1807, ii. 128).

Discourses Delivered Before the Asiatic Society… par William Jones
This document gets three stars for its historical significance--introducing the Indo-European language family, world!--but I don't like the way he excludes Islamic civilization from his cozy primeval Ursprung, and I wonder why the oldies always liked to learnedly pronounce on shit they couldn't even prove (about mythic correspondences, Janus being Ganesha, Jupiter being the Hindu trinity[!], shit like that) like it was facts.
