A SECRETARY SET RIGHT.

70 ne Editov Of 7As " Y Tyibuns.
SIR: The Recording Secretary Of the American In.
sttute, in his communication published in to-day e
TRIBUNE, has fallen into strange and curious error.
All the words which he calls Ssnscrit are pure Ice
landic OldNorthen and their cloee resemblance to
the English is mater of no wonder when We remem-
Der that the AngloSaxon and OldNorhern were sister
tongues. Indeed his list might have been extended
so az to comprehend nearly every word in our Ian
guage derivsbe from Auglo. Saxon roots. Although
tolersbly familiar with Professor Homboes previous

kit Vienna, 1852, which is the one cited and Of
course cannot surmise how your correspondents re-
marksble mistake originated.
Meanwhile the similarity between the Sanscrit and
the English although not so striking as the Recording
Secre tarys statement would lead to believe is st
sufficient to prove that they both belong to great
linguistic family, the Indo- European, Of which the
Sanscrt is the Oldest member. This fact is NO new
discovery, but long since demonstrated. Isubjoin
few examples Of the similarity existing bet een the
two tongues as they occur to me:
