The maps from which the above latitudes were taken, are those of Arrowsmith; the latitudes of a few places which occur not in him, in Siberia, in Polar America, and in the Great South Sea, were traced from a new and large terrestrial globe. The latitude of the major part of the countries is carried through the centre of each country, because the boundary of many describes a wavy line.

The pious labors of the "Bible Society" deserve the thanks of every linguist, not merely from their motives, concerning which a diversity of opinions prevails between Periodical Reviewers equally learned; but from the vast diversity of languages into which they are, by their correspondents, translating the Scriptures; a measure by which we may compare each new tongue in its Lord's Prayer and its numerals; a measure by which their works will form a new and extended Polyglott; and a measure, by which a tongue is elevated from an oral, savage, barbarian speech, into an idiom, which will probably be as immortal as the Coptic and the Sanscrit, daughters or derived from the Hebrew, and Syriac, which will survive the ruin and loss of the tribe which spake it, and will convey to posterity a clear idea of its origin, its antiquity, its decline and fall. Had not the missionary Elliot published in A. D. 1661. his translation of the Scriptures into a Virginia, or Natik dialect, so able a philologer, as Barton in his too short volume "On the origins of the Tribes and Nations in America," could not have ascertained the curious, yet historical, fact, that the Natiks were merely a branch of the same wide nation which roved in bands from the fountains and shores of the St. Lawrence, to the Atlantic coast of Virginia.

Modern Missionaries of the Protestant, Catholic, and Greek persuasions, of the Georgian, Syriac, Coptic, and St. Thomé churches are pursuing the same grand plan of evangelising the nations. Biblical translations appear annually; and the Classical Journal, and "Reports of the Bible Society" record them with pious care. The missionary plans in Siberia, Southern Tartary, the two

Americas, and New South Wales, and Australia, delightfully succeed. And it will not be esteemed too sanguine a thought in a Clergyman, that we see in our age the "swellings of Jordan" coasting around, and preparing to fertilise the "promised land;" I mean the whole earth; which, it is promised, shall rise into the "kingdom of God and his Christ ;" and that in one century the verse will be verified, "the knowledge of the [religion of the] Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea."

Hence to modern Christians the words used to the primitive converts may be most emphatically applied: "Blessed are the eyes which see, and the ears which hear, the things which ye hear and see; for many prophets, many kings, have desired to hear and see them, but have" died without the satisfaction. To such translators and learned Missionaries, all linguists ought to repeat the Latin encouragement :

Macte Virtute! Christo duce, et auspice Christo!

Nec quicquam factum est, dum aliquid supersit agendum.

And every sincere Christian will say of such translations, and of such a religion, the most humane and wise which has ever been imparted to man, ESTO PERPETUA! And may it appear, like its GREAT AUTHOR, every where always.

Melancholy is the fact, that if the population of Christian Europe be 180 millions, that of Christian America be 20; that of Christian Afric 3; and of Christian Asia and Tartary 10; the total is merely 213; while Pagan China, Japan, Cochin China, and Chinese Tartary, boast of 400 millions of souls, India of 100,000,000 heathens; and Siam, Ava, Aracan, Asam, and Nepaul, of an additional 50,000,000.

Now it appears from that enlightened work, the Asiat. Resear. vol. iv. 3. that "the natives of the last five kingdoms seem to be one and the same people, in language probably, and certainly in manners, in laws, in religion. Features of the strongest resemblance are visible between the 3 former, and the 2 latter, people ; between those of Japan, of China, of Cochinchina. The Siamese, Braimmas, Maramas, form one great family, have one common language, and are similar in customs and in sacred rites."

Macte virtute cum ominibus bonis!

we may then say to the Bible Society: translate into these polished idioms the Scriptures; millions will then read. The star of Jesus will rise in the East, and the Eastern Magi will come to adore him.

Sculcoates, Hull.
