Edinburgh encyclopaedia [ID D26293]. David Brewster : "The knowledge of the origin, historiy, and condition of this extensive and extraordinary empire is still extremely impferfect and uncertain. It was only at a late period that the nations of Europe became acfquainted even with the existence of the country ; and even than, the peculiar nature of the language, and the careful exclusion of foreigners by the Government prevented, and still in a great measure prevent, that degree of intercourse with the people, which is necessary to procure correct information of their manners, and free access to their historical records." |
