Excerpt from A Voyage to North-America, Vol. 1 of 2

After reading almost every Thing that has been writ on the Manner in which America might have been peopled, we seem to be just where we were before this great and interesting Question began to be agitated; notwithstanding, it would require a moderate Volume to relate only the various Opinions of the learned on this Subject. For most Part of them have given so much into the marvellous, almost all of them have built their Conjectures on Foundations so ruinous, or have had recourse to certain Resemblances of Names, Manners, Customs, Religion and Languages, so very frivolous, which it would, in my Opinion, be as useless to refute, as it is impossible to reconcile with each other.

It is not, perhaps, to be wondered at, that those who have first treated this matter mould wander in a Way which had not as yet been marked out, and in which they must travel without a Guide.
