“In the past, this tribe attacked another, then subdued it, and then moved on to the next — and so on, for hundreds of years. If we look at the political map of the world today, I think it won’t be difficult to recognize this nation and understand who is being talked about. The size of its territory should be impressive.”

“Les enquêtes effectuées en 1830 démontrent, qu'en Basse-Bretagne, 70% de la population parle breton. Les grandes villes sont bilingues, le total des monolingues bretons s'élève à 80% des locuteurs, une grande partie de ces bretonnants sait lire et écrire le breton. Cette situation va perdurer jusqu'à la veille de la première guerre mondiale, à l'exception des villes dont la francisation s'est fortement accentuée. On évalue le nombre de locuteurs à 1300000 en 1914. p145”

“Si cette population avait transmis sa langue aux générations suivantes dans des conditions de développement normales, cela ferait maintenant quelques quatre ou cinq millions de bretonnants : les langues vernaculaires ayant moins de cinq millions de locuteurs sont nombreuses : l'hébreu (4,6 millions), le norvégien (4,4 millions), l'albanais (2,5 millions), l'islandais (220 000) etc. p145-146”

“Later times have laid all the blame upon the Goths and Vandals, but, however unwilling the partizans of the Christian system may be to believe or to acknowledge it, it is nevertheless true, that the age of ignorance commenced with the Christian system.There was more knowledge in the world before that period, than for many centuries afterwards; and as to religious knowledge, the Christian system, as already said, was only another species of mythology; and the mythology to which it succeeded, was a corruption of an ancient system of theism. It is owing to this long interregnum of science, and to no other cause, that we have now to look back through a vast chasm of many hundred years to the respectable characters we call the Ancients. Had the progression of knowledge gone on proportionably with the stock that before existed, that chasm would have been filled up with characters rising superior in knowledge to each other; and those Ancients we now so much admire would have appeared respectably in the background of the scene. But the christian system laid all waste; and if we take our stand about the beginning of the sixteenth century, we look back through that long chasm, to the times of the Ancients, as over a vast sandy desert, in which not a shrub appears to intercept the vision to the fertile hills beyond.”
