Of EnYntian Orinin

The Basques are a curious race, and
for a century scientists believed 1t i'm
possible to discover their affiliations,
and with good reason, for they tried
in vain to connect them with other
European people. In recent times a
careful and intimate study of the Ian
guage has revealed them to have come
from Egypt at a time so remote that
even tradition and legend show no
traces Of that far off migration.
