FAC SIMILE OF A LETTER IN MODERN ments, which the Society had entrusted to my care, I was generally given to understand that the Greek Priests would do all in their power to thwart and render ineffectual any such distribution. I determined, therefore, to go at once to the Patriarch, and, if possible, procure his sanction. Accordingly I got translated a large Extract from the "Summary Account" of the So Copy of the Modern Greek Testament.— When I next saw him, he told me that he considered the object of the Society highly laudable, and presented me with the inclosed Declaration. As the present Patriarch is considered a person of great literary attainments, the opinion of so competent a judge respecting the version adopted by the Society, may be thought in itself satisfactory; but I conceive the Declaration may be also extensively useful, if the Society should think proper to print and prefix it to each Copy of the Romaic Testament which may hereafter be issued. I have been credibly informed, that many Greeks have scrupled to purchase, or even receive the Scriptures, without some such authority; and I understand, that the persons acting for the Society at Zante, are of opinion, that the sale of the Testaments, transmitted there, has been materially retarded by those scruples. It is not merely because we consider the Greek New Testament printed by the British and Foreign Bible Society, containing the ancient and modern Greek in opposite co-ciety, which I left with him, together with a lumns, as one of the greatest curiosities which have issued from the modern press, as one of the literary honours of our country, in the present day, while at the same time a demonstration of British benevolence to distant nations, that we have inserted the document annexed,-but, also, because it may give occasion to valuable remarks on the nature of the Greek characters, employed as well in former ages, as at present. The learned will remark the nature and difficulties of the ligatures; the hazard of mistakes from copyists, who often valued swiftness more than correctness; the necessity of fair and distinct transcripts for important occasions, or services of a public nature, &c. &c. In short, that the great men of antiquity should have had their readers, and highly valued them, too, will no longer appear wonderful, supposing their MSS. resembled this, in compression, and confusion. Aristotle complains of the labour to read, and rightly to divide, the writings of Heraclitus; Atticus kept youths, who were able scholars, as part of his houshold, says Cornelius Nepos; and Cicero lamented the loss of Sositheus, who had been in his service as a reader. This may contribute to moderate surprise at variations in copies of Greek writers, historians or poets; while it assists in explaining the causes of variations in documents of still greater importance, which have employed the investigations of the learned, for ages, and which must be supposed to increase with the popularity of works, and with the frequency of their transcription.

Volumes, Oral traditions, or practical experience of the best informed Hindu Vaidayas-Mussulman, or Persian Doctors; they were resorted to by the Author with eager and animated research; their various judgements and opinions were impartially weighed, and the most consistent and satisfactory conclusions, most of them verified by his own experiments and observation, were selected to illustrate the Articles treated of. Near two Decades of our fleeting years have passed over the Doctor's head while engaged in this important arduous pursuit the completion of which has now been successfully accomplished. sure in characterizing the work alluded to, in the highest terms of praise. Copies of the performance have been received at the India House; and we have inspected them, with some care, but not at leisure sufficient to venture an opinion on the merits of the book. We conceive, however, that the mere action of arrangement, and description of the articles, is no small service to science; and that much new and valuable information must be comprized in such a laborions undertaking. The history and application of articles attached to the Materia Medica, of the processes they undergo, and their uses in different states, interests European practitioners, no less than those of the faculty who may be called to practice in India, more particularly.
