is view has been defended principally
by Russian philologists, the Metropolitan Eugene, Kalajdovitch, etc.]

[Footnote 3: See his _Kyrill und Method_, Prague, 1823. Schloezer
considers likewise the Old Slavic as a Bulgarian dialect of the ninth
century. See his Northern History, p. 330. In another place he calls
it the mother of the other Slavic languages; see his Nestor, I. p.
46.]

Carinthia, and Stiria.]

Grimm is of the same opinion; see the Preface to his translation of
Vuk Stephanovitch's Servian Grammar.]

[Footnote 7: This view Schaffarik takes in his work on _Slavic
Antiquities_, and in his _Slavic Ethnography_. Palacky, a
distinguished Bohemian scholar, adopted the same opinion in his
_History of Bohemia_, Prague 1836. Both were combatted in a furious
review by Kopitar, in Chmel's _Oestr. Geschichtsforscher_, III. 1838;
printed separately under the title: _Der Pannonische Ursprung der
Slavischen Liturgie_. etc.]

Etymologie_, Prague 1812. See also the _Slovanka_ of this celebrated
scholar.]

Russen," St. Petersb. 1835; where a specimen is given of the form of
writing which the Arabian author Ibn Abi Jakub el Nedim ascribes to
the Russians. This writer lived at the close of the tenth century. He
quotes as his authority an envoy sent from some Caucasian prince to
the king of the Russians.]

is incorrectly said, that they were a Turkish tribe.]

Epistles instead of the Palter are named.]

[Footnote 15: That the Glagolitic alphabet, as has been affirmed, was
the one invented by Cyril, and was gradually changed into that
afterwards known as the Cyrillic, is an untenable position; partly,
because no form of writing _could_ change in such a degree in one or
two
