From convincing and indisputable facts it is certain thai ihweonntrr has been - in habited frorr, very remote timet and thsl its first iohsbitants did not descend, as soma suppose, from any no particular tribe er nation, but from ilifFeient tribes, snd differ ent nation. This ia interred from lingual and physical differences that flirted and still exist between different tribes. .This fact i also supported by collateral proofs and subsidiary - circumttanres, - ano wa almost excluively to the Anriqusrlan. Antique engravings, posUcnpu, marginal insertions, iio. have now and the, been aocidiintally found, giving account of some vessel having left the continent in search of land; but hud never returned to reveal the secrets of. the . ocean. . Bome of those sndering vessels, by wind and tide msy have been wafied to the western world, wrecked nesr the shore, snd landed their hapless crew in an uncultivated wilderness to form themselves into a family & grow into a tribe. ' That the A mericsn mliaos deseen ded from "the fen lost tribes oftho children 7tf I44f.itt fsvsMtiii aihoiirh1chartteg'ifthlt its own refutation. -' In fsct, there are no ten lost "tribes of Israel." ' Ten tribes were scattered but on the proclamation wf Cyrus some of them returned to India, and others went into oilier countries. 1 More over, the difference in their language and E histology proves this favorite theory . to i absurd. , The first well ssifienticaled sccoants and historical facts we have, com mence as far back as forty or fifty years before the Christian Era; mere than fifteen hundred , years before Columbus. : For these accounts we refer yon to tha histori an Elian, Apoleiws, Ammianus, Anitus and ntmlinia Rlf ulm.
