      The resemblance of this name to the Teutonic Wuotan or Odin is certainly striking and will afford a new argument to the enthusiastic Rafn, and other advocates of a Scandinavian colonization of America.—Edd.

      2

      Compare the Hindoo conception, translated from one of the old Vedic legends, in Bunsen's Philosophy of History:—

        "Nor Aught nor Nought existed; yon bright

              sky

        Was not, nor heaven's broad roof outstretched

              above.

        What covered all? What sheltered? What

              concealed?

        Was it the waters' fathomless abyss?

        There was not death,—yet was there nought

              immortal.

        There was no confine betwixt day and night.

        The only One breathed breathless by itself;—

        Other than it there nothing since has been.

        Darkness there was, and all at first was veiled

        In gloom profound,—an ocean without light.

        The germ that still lay covered in the husk

        Burst forth, one nature, from the fervent

              heat."

      This is the expression of the legend, and certainly points to the ideas of the Eastern hemisphere. The coincidence with the legends of Hiawatha and the Finnish Wainamoinen will be remarked.—EDD.
