This article appears in Volume V13, Page 302 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HENRY, VICTOR (1850 ) , French philologist, was born at
Colmar
  in
Alsace
 . Having held appointments at Douai and Lille, he was appointed profe.or of Sanskrit and comparative grammar in the university of Paris. A prolific and versatile writer, he is probably best known by the English translations
of his Precis de Grammaire comparee de l'anglais et de l'allemand and Precis . . . du Grec et du Latin. Important works by him on India and Indian languages are: Manuel pour etudier le Sanscrit vedique (with A. Bergaigne, 1890); Elements de Sanscrit classique (1902); Precis de grammaire Pdlie (1904); Les Litteratures de l'Inde: Sanscrit, Pali, Prdcrit (1904); La Magie dans l'Inde antique (1904); Le Parsisme (1905); L'Agni,ftoma (1906).
Obscure languages (such as Innok,
Quichua
 , Greenland) and local dialects (Lexique tymologique du
Breton
  modern; Le Diaiecte Alaman de
Colmar
 ) also claimed his attention. Le Langage Martien is a curious book. It contains a discussion of some 40 phrases (amounting to about Soo words), which a certain Mademoiselle Helene
Smith
  (a well-known spiritualist medium of Geneva), while on a hypnotic visit to the
planet
  Mars, learnt and repeated and even wrote down during her trance as specimens of a language spoken there, explained to her by a disembodied interpreter.
