MR. MURRAY'S GRAMMAR,
Revised and 'improved'by the Rev. Jas.
Abercrombie, D. D. Director of 'The
Philadelphia Academy;', published in
1817.
Note 1. The errors hereafter point-
ed out, may lie seen, verbatim, int both
grammars, except as otherwise mienti.n-
ed. Corrections are noted in [bnrckets8.]
2. The first number against a page, re-
fers to the original gramnrar' the secondd,
to the improved edition.
S.. A dash in 'a quotation, denotes
ie omission of a word or words, itiichi
aftect not the sentence that is quoted.
.4. Sentences quoted in both grammars
are, in these renarlk, distinguished ^by
single commas, '-.'
P. 67-61. "Perhaps the wordsfoi-mer
and hitter may be properly (perhaps im-n
properly!) ranked among the demonstra-
tive pronouns, especially in.many oftheir
applications." How is a pupil to know,
in how many, and in what instances, the
words former and latter, are to be called
demonstrative pronouns? Here is more
proof, that grammnariams after lohg and Ia-
borious deliberation, are utterly incompe-
tent.to distiriauish the, parts of speech!l
esp ecially ,i' tIh:- words foriMer *'i"nd i.i ,..
After treating of varioussother words,
not knowing 'what parts of speech they
are! the author observes:
P. 68-62. "We have en-iidsavoured,
(and, he might have said. laboured inces-'
san'tly, for days, and nights,' and months,.
and years!.) to -li'tiiiuh...l. and explain
the nature of the adjective pronouns; but
(how. distressing the thought is!) it is dif-
ficult to divide them in an exact and un-
exceptionable manner"!
11Here follows a long list of sterns, the
.only use of which, is to apologize for a.
total incapacity to divide, class, and comn-
preherid the uses of, the a Ilj i'ct i a. pro-.
nouns,viz. "Somne of th,:rn iin in aii:il.-ir
applications, might have Ler ./'n i rn,' ti/
classefl:'! "but it is pri-'iiinn ie."! --n '.;--

lf '! "'a division adapted to this cir-

in the singular number, joiined--bya co-
pulative con.junction--must have verbs-
agreeing with them in the plurial-as "So-
,crates and Plato e.-ie wise.'" ,
To show a.violation of 'ile above' rule,
the author insertsqan erroneous sentence
thus: 'Their love, and their hatred, and
their envy, is now perished.' which lie
endeavours to correct, thus, -are perish-
ed.'
If two animals should be found frozen

taught by the erroneous rules and exam-
ples in printed grammtnars!
To show the erroneous c instruction of
ariother sentence, which Dir. Lowth and
others had maintained as being correct,
the author quotes) under the same rule,
the followin.gf- viz:
P. 144-125. "r and and salt, and a
mass of iron, is easier to bear than a man'
without understanding.' The sentence,
the author means, should be corrected,
according to the aboi'e rule ,thus: "Sand,
and salt, and a inass of ir'in, are easier
to bear, than a man wti'tloi''understanid-
ing." .. '
To the singular verb, is, above, the au-
thor subjoins his disapprobation, in words
which show, that he knew- not the tise of.
tite word, besides-thus: "But besides the
confusion and -latitude. of application,
which such. a construction would intro-
duce, it appears to be more proper,." &c.
,The word, besides, was nischosen, it has
no business in the sentence; it states par-
ticulars on dagS side, and Ieaves 'nothing
expressed or unridert(I>Ond On tle otiin
The words confusion and a/iitauii, 'Which

Now, according to the diri'ect;ons re-
specting the Dtis-jn.ictive oo0-juriction,
the sentence concerning sand and salt,
having appeared in two shapes, may ap-

There is on. piagri-hin it. I 'essay, froip

outt making any further reply to those invec-
tives levelled at myself
After referring to the bonks of the landof-
fice to prove the immense amount of the sales
"ficted by government, and. the prices at
w'hic 1 those sales were made, 'Mobile' exult-
ingly inquires whether "the purchasers would.
not have ascertained the quality of the soil?"-
In reply to this inquiry, it might be sufficient
-to refer both your correspondent and the pub-
lick to the experience of many living witnesses-
.for evidence of the effect produced by the land
speculatirgv mania-and particularly to inquire
whether all judgment, sense, and reason, are
not completely banished when the feverish at its
heig.hth. Unfortunately for 'Mobile' and his
pluns, there are too many families in this city,
who have suffered all the horrours of poverty,
produced by-speculations in Pennsylvania
-gain decoyed into similar follies on the banks'
of the Tombigbee river. To such as recollect
the events of those days, I need only remark,
that the mania was then confined almost exclu-
sively to men of wealth, and the effects were
not so sensibly felt by the poorer classes of so.
ciety, as they would be in tihe present instance,
Wherein persons-of every description would be
included in the ruin occasioned by the burst-
ing of the .llabama bubble. In that territory, at
-present, no blacksmith blows his bellows; no
hatter heats his irons; no lawyer draws a de-
claration; no doctor physics his patient, with-
out calculating in his own mind the number of
acres which his labour -will procure at the next
public sale of government land. This sort of
feeling amounts to a distemper, which I fear,
will prove fatal to'those who at present labour
.under it.
There were many circumstances connected
with the sale of lands in the Alabama territory,
which tended to make them produce a price
far beyond their real value..
The government having heretofore establish.
.ed offices in its territories, at which, the pub-
lick lands could be purchased at two dollars
per acre, and no moe. Many men realized im-
niense fortunes in Ohio, Tennessee, and other
territories, by a judicious selection of land; this
being well ascertained, had created a thirst in
r.i,, others who wished to make money by the
same easy probess, anda Were determined to
avail [h.nselves of the first opportunity af do-
ifig so. In the sale-of Alabama lands, the go-
vernment adopted a new course, and offered
their property at public auction, not because
the soil was better, but because they had crea-
teda public debt, (well known by the name of
:Yazoo stock) receivable in payment for these
,ery lands, and congress had foreseen that
those who held tlhe stock would avail them-
selves of the opportunity thus offered of get-
ting rid of it. This stock had, in many-in-
stances, been sold by the original holders at
-from.one fourth to one half its nominal value,
to those Who intended making purchases; anti
Sthus was created a necessity to buy lands in a
species of persons, who had already shown a
speculative disposition, by meddling with the
stock. If any man will transport himself in
-imagination, to a public sale, at which fifty
*persons thus situated are present,,he may con-
,ceive the avidity with which bids are made,
and the fear which is visible in the countenan-
.ces of many of the'company, least they should
be compelled to keep their stock until the suc-
eeding sale day.
Another inducement for liberal bidding,
which operated upon those who attended the
-sales, was the terms upon which the lands were
offered for sale, and the opportunity afforded
for violating.the spirit and meaning of the act

"Land in the vicinity of Nashville (ToN.)

their cotton gins;; and those among them who
possess a moderate share of candor, will ad-
mit their belief, that ere long, Indian corn must
take the place of cotton as the- staple of their
country.- Among those who will make trheA,-.
adoissions, are many who have purchased
landaat thirty and forty dollars pert acre;, and
by paying twenty-five per cent .of the amount
obtained, a credit of five years on the balance,
with the privilege at the expiration. of that
time, of forfeiting the land. Thi is considered
a good bargain for the purchaser, as it amounts
to an amnnal rent of only fivp per cent. upon
the purchase money, and they hope that the
cotton crops will not fail before that time ex-
pires.. Indeed, I have heard some men with el-
frontery enough to ground their calculations
upon an application to congress for, an exten-.
sion of time upon the money due, and thereby
obtain three-years more, which will make eight
-years use of the land for one fourth of its no-
minal value. You may 'depend upon it, my dear
sir, that the real value of an acre of land in the
section of country I am now speaking of, can-
not be ascertained. It all bears a nominal or
fictitious value, and the government'may rest
assured, that but a very small proportion of
their land which has been selling at high pri-
ces, will ever.be paid for." .

SA few men who were in the territory at the
time when public lands were first offered for
sale in Madison county, have realized consider-
ablefortuines; some of them by means which I
HOPE my friend 'Mobile' would neither prac-
tice himself, nor sanction in others. One of
those instances, it is probable, may have come
to his- knowledge, as it excited considerable
attention att thetime, and was thle cause of an
alteration by congress in the act directing the
sale of public lands. The then existing law
required that lands forfeited, should at the ex-
piration of five years, "go into the mass of
other public lands, and'be subject, to entry at.
two dollars per. acre.' A gentleman (so called)
purchased a body of land for which there was
very considerable competition at the sale, and
, for which there were other bidders for more than
sixly dollars per acre. On the day of sale he
paid five percent, upon the amount of the pur-
chase nonee, which ensured him a credit of
forty days (upon-the residue of the fiv'st year's
instalment) before which time, the sale was
-- er- and the numerous copm)etitors hiad retir-
ed to the' resypeciue. fihomes- -reze tmppiact,
that no more than the five per cent. was ever
paid, and it appears that the brother of the first
purchaser took subh accurate note of time as
to appear at- the land office precisely at the ex-
piration of five years, and entered the same
land at two dollars an acre. The profit made
by thisjuggling, I would endeavour to calcu-
late if I knew the number of acres included in
the purchase. The precise degree of moral
terpitude connected with the transaction, I
leave every reader to calculate for himself. I
have some reason to complain of 'Mobile's per-
verting the plain and obvious meaning of words.
He attempts to make me say, that it was a re-
.proach to theinhabitants of Mobile that there
were no brick houses in their town. I refer
)Lijn and your readers to the paragraph in ques-
tion, and defy any other construction, than a
censure upon those counteofeiters vf truth who
for sinister purposes, are endeavouring to
delude the people, and induce them to leave
the comforts they enjoy at home, in pursuit of
phantoms which will for ever elude their grasp.

Babylonian Marriages.
An auction of unmarried ladies used to
take place annually -in Babylon. -'In
every district (says the historian) they
assembled on a certain day inevery year,
all the virgins of marriageable age?'
The most beautiful was fii'st.put up, and
the man who bid the largest sum of money
gained possession of her charms. The
second in personal appearance followed,
and the bidders gratified themselves, with
wives according to the depth of their pur-
ses. But alas! there were ,some ladies
in Babylon for whom no mthoney was
likely to be offttered: yet these also were
disposed of-so provident were the Ba-
bylonians.--"When all the beautiful
virgins (says the historian) were sold,
the crier ordered the most deformed to
stand up; and after he had openly deman-
ded who would marry her with a small
stem, she was at length adjudged to the
man ,vho would be satisfied with the
least; and in this manner the money a-
rising from the sale of the handsome ser-
ved as a portion to those who were either
of disagreeable look, or liad any other
imperfection."

For the Union.-. .
Bank of the United States.
The eleventh section of the act of Congress
incorporating the Bank of the United States,
contains the following clause.
"The number of votes to'which the. Stock-
holders shall be entitled, in voting for Direc-
tors, shall be according' to the number of
shares he, she, or.they respectively sliall hold,.
in the proportions following, that is to say-
for one share and not more than two shares,
one vote; for every tvo shares above two, and
not. exceeding ten, one vote; for every four.
shares above t6 njsnd not exceeding thirty,
one vote; for every six shares above thirty, and
not exceeding sixty, one vote: for every eight
shares above sixty, and not exceeding one hun.
dred, one i ote. but no person, co.-aIrtPership, or,

ber d.(an; thirty votes-and after, the first, eled.
tion, no. sliae or shares shall confet- a right of
voting, whiich shall not .have been holden three
calendar months, before the election--And
Sirockholidrs actually resident in tlie United
States may vote in elections by proxy."
1. On the construction of this section of the
act, can it be doubted that it was the intention
of Congress that none other than bona fide hol-
ders of stock should vote at elections. Can a
m'lre trustee be justly said to be a holder .of
stock: and does not the clause, "that no per.
son, co-partnership, or body politick, shall be
entitled to.a greater number than thirty
votes5" clearly, apply, to"a case where a trust is
created for the purpose of influencing the elec-
tion of directors.
2. Is it not currently reported, that a trust
has been created in the town of Baltimore,
wherebyithe intention of the act is rendered
nugatory, and the election of Directors abso.
lutely controuled.
31 Is it not certain, that a caucus was held.
;n tli.- c;,. of which Mr. Mason, of Virginia,
eva, clhirm ri, in which i ticket for Directors
was formed, and wchic cket was supported
and succeeded by a larger number of votes
from Baltimore, than was give fiom all other-
parts of the Continent?
4. Was not this ticket notoriously the result
of i compromise, which finally gave a majority
to the friends ofthe administration in the Na-
tional Bank, and a majority in almost every in-
stance of one to the same party, in the branches,
throughout the Union?
5. As a mo'ial principle, is it not right that
in every pecuniary concern, the actual majori-
ty in number and value should govern; and as


a polit;cAl principle, isit not utterly abomlita.
ble, that a great m6nied influence .should be
openly and notoriously divided among the par-
ty powers ofthe country.
6. Is it not notorious, that the balancein the
treasury, after payment of the Louisiana Loan,
for which the bank is now said to be curtailing'
its discounts, will be a small one? Have not the.
taxes been'taken off, and -is it -not admitted
that war would be.utterly destructive.to the
revenue to be derived from commerce?
7. In the event of war, on what can the go-
vernment rely, for the means of carrying it on,
except loans from this. bank?' Must not. such
loans create paper issues, i.l chI"vill banish-
specie; and by surcharging- circulation, cause
deiir.,a n' An d is it til, tlat sc. gri..ti pow-
er over the prdierti of the ccu-ntrYi should .be
entirely at the will of a party?..
8. Ar, not the interests of the bank incorpo-
rated With those of the state banks throughout
the iotIu,,' Have not these banks, within a
few years, been multiplied in an enormous de-
gree by the same party which ha- cr:at-il ili t.
e.v xi- ilin.try n-ri'riie; and is it not obvious,
therefore,.that all the mohied influence of the
country is rendered subject to the authority of
the caucus at Baltimore.
9. While the managementof the bank shall
he confided to a fair representation of the mno-
nied ihiterest,'will not its proceedings h- limi-
'ted by principles certainly consistent with, the
*safety of property, Iand not. probably i.coir,-;
tent with the preservation of liberty? Is not the
monied interest a powerful but natural influ-
ence.in iO oic, noit l;kn ,\ to be dangerous while
moving .n its oun U,.. -, within its own orbit;
but capable of becoming fat ally subversive of
freedom, if chained d!.% 1i i. thIMl fIe of any par-
ticular political interest?
10. Do not the measures of the administra.
tion, however disguised, .... i -'ld, t i to--
wardi -. .ar' C n the late- p-.-ocCrdinir's in 'F1.
i, a ,ni the oidc-rs ei,.-.., n, ,..p--l th-. hrkli ii

Ooeanh,:vcich neither Sp, r .nor any other ir.
tion hags veir-acknowledged to h.- tih.r. orn-
limits,be otherwise accounted for il...i~ .,
desire to produce irritation, if notwar? .Ar.ij
do not the formidable fortifications now erect-.
ing at Ross's Point, onJ.Lake Champlaine, where
five hundred men are saidto be employed; arid.
'at other places on the Canada line, indicate
the expectation of the government, that'war
will happen?
11. Is it not probable, that the state of pub
lick feeling produced by war will be unfavoura-
ble to a strict examination of the proceedings
efthis bank, or'any. opposition to its measures?
And is it not therefore important, that some
regular investigation should at once, be com-
menced?
12. If a trust enacted or held for the pur-,
purpose of influencing or controulirfg the elec.
tion of Directors, is flagrantly illegal, of which
there can be no doubt, do not legal means
exist of avoiding the election so influenced
and controlled; and if such means be ne.
glected by the Stockholders, is not flagrant
an abuse of the influence of a monied inte-
-,'-'-,.- -ueffl nt reason for setting -aside
the Charter? To prevent this measure which
it seems probable'may otherwise be attemp-
ted, ought not a meeting of the Stockholders
to be held, for the purpose, of instituting such
inquiries, as may afford legal evidence of the
nature of the trust, and of moving for a- Quo
*Warranto should it be continued.

COMMUNICATION.
A few nights past as Mr. Stewart, an
Officer of the Bank of United- States, was
returning to his lodgings, he was attack-
ed by dogs at the corner of Pine & Third
streets; was thown down by them on the
pavement and his life endangered by the
ferocity of' the attack, and the numbers
which surrounded him. A single dog cros-'
sed the street and approached him evi-
dently menacing his throat, and in defend-
ing himself from the murderous attempt,
his hand was bitten through the side, or
palm; and his body seriously lacerated by
other dogs which joined in the assault.
Fortunately -he was,. rescued from death,
by means of per-sons who.heard his cries,
sieasonably as tobeat off the assailants.
.Since the attack Mr Stewart has not
.been able to attend"to -his duties in, Bank.
Citi.rins of Philadelphia, how long will
yoa permit this grownig nuisance, pre-e
sented daily by dogs, to continue? The
Corporation of the City have provided an
Ordinance for your protection-Why is it
not put in execion? The citizens of
tis great town ought certainly to be pro-
tected from the ferocious and murderous
attacks of dogs running at large in the
streets of our city.

Bitt Gentlemen,- however remiss I .
have been here; I have not been forgetful,
elsewhere, of the clairt.s ,f the female
world to due parlicipjtion in matters .of
election. ;Of the plan iof Parliamentary -'
Reform on which, in my place in Parlia-
ment, I have had ccasin .to.comment, I
have commented on none with more in-
dignation and rebuke than on that which,
admitting the whole population to a vote, '

mean to say, for I will not flatter, even
the fair part of my auditors, at-the expense
of ruth (at least before so large an as-
semhly as this)-I do not mean to say,
that even the association of the softer sex -
in the new system- of elective: franchise
wquld entirely rec encile me to an exten-
sion of it, which, I think, would be full of
mischief.'But there is one pledge which I
am quite ready to give, and which, I trust,
they will think satisfactory; that I never
will consent to any plan of universal suf-
frage in which they are -not included..;

-J-:,!m Whitehead. iHei ry D. Meriitt, Saii-
u-'l H. Garrow, and Godwin B. Cotten,
reported the following resolutions, which.
were adopted:-
Resolved, As the sense of this meeting,-
that we view the conduct of Lieut. R.
Beall in marching a body of the United
States troops through the streets of the
town on the 14th .inst. in amenacing and,
insulting manner armed with muskets
and a piece of artillery, and demolishing --
the jail and setting at liberty the prison-
ers confined therein as a most wanton,
and most unprecedented outrage against
the feelings, the interests, and the con-
stitutional rights of the inhabitants of-
this town. '
Resolved, That the' conduct of the.said
Lt. R. Beall in arraying the United
States troops in opposition to the civil au-
thority of 'this town, and that too in a.
manner so peculiarly insulting, and so di-
rectly tending to excite the inhabitants;
to arms, and to deeds of ,oodshed' an',
horrotw, was an unwarrantable attack.
upon our most sacred rights and pji vile-o
ges as American citizens; that this ci.-_
duct in triumphantly parading through
the streets with his music and detadi-
ment, thus causing fhe inhabitants to as-
senhbie at the saidjailt and there turning
the arms of his country against our peace-
able and unarmed citizens, aud, threat-.
ening to fire upon them, and actually or-
dering his sentry to fire, were acts which
we deprecate with feelings of horror &
indignation-acts which disgrace the
character of an officer of the American.
army.
Resolved, That we detest the infuriate-
passions of a mob, though they might have
hurled vengeance on the heads of those
who dared to arouse them; that we wilL
appeal to the competent authority, for-
the enjoyment of that sacred bou, of oue
Constitution, that the Military be sub-
ordinate to the Civil Power."
After which, Addin Lewis, John King,
jun. Samuel H. Garrow, H. H. Rolston,
H. V. Chamberlain, Alvin Robishaw, and
Thomas Powell, were appointed to draft
a memorial to the President of the U. S.

The same paper contains the following
note from Lt. BEA LL .-
Lieut. tl.i L-.t requests -a suspension .
of the public opinion, in reference to
the discharge ofhis late unpleasant duty,
until a proper investigation can take
place. In the mean time, however, let it
be understood, that the ground upon
which the county jail had been tempO-
rarily erected was the publiok hospital

NorFOLK, August 12, 1818.
MORE PIRAClY.
Our readers will remember, that we
copied into our paper yesterday, frnmn the
Charleston Times, a letter from the Cap-
tain of the Spanish Government brig of
war St. Fernando, to thlie commandant
General of the Marine Department, da-
ted Havana, July 7th. on board the St.
Fernando, noticing his hating fallen inn
with a Patriot schooner, in the al'ternoonn
of the Ist. July,-which escaped from hini
in the night, alter being much crippled by-
his shot. The same letter states, that
they.full in with and captured near the
"Berry island, on the 9th of July, the
sluop General Aury, Capt. Nicholas Pat.
person, under American colours, and
bound, according to her papers, from
Charleston, C-to St Thomas. bone of the
little Antilles.-Whenshe was overhaul-,
ed by the St. F. shle Was bearing N. W.
froit l1iebFiTornt" iiama, a-com-se-fpe-
out ofl er properdirection. They found 6n
board the sloop seventy two negro staresi,
not mentioned in her books, which Cap-
tain P. endeatvoured to conceal.
After some rerpoinstrances Capt. P. de-
livered up his commission from the Bue-
nos Ayrean Government, t cruize against
Spail, a'td, the vessel hihving on board:
irons, munitions of war, and other hostile
implements the Negr6e's were taken on
board the St. Fernarido;'and Capt; P. and
crew made prisoners.' "The Editor of.the
'Times observes, that. it is believed, upon
good information, that this vessel is, the
sloop Almyra,Capt.. Peters, which.,ailed
from Charleston on the 8th of June last,
ostensively bound to St. Thnonias; and off
the Hole in the Wall, fell in with .an
American vessel from Nbrfolk bound- to
New Orleans, with Negi'oes, and ,plun-
dered her of them and other property. '
Now, upun reference to the Custom-
House Clearances at this place, it appears
that the only vessel which sailed fi-rom
tlis port for New-Orleans, about that
time, with the number .i1 Negroes stated
to-have been found in the slop General
Aury, alias Alinyra, whs thie schooner
Commerce, Capt Williams,of Baltimore.
nutned by Mr. Hamilton of that City. She
cleared from this part oni the 15th June,+
and sailed about C0th. 'These circuistan.-
ces leaVe.littib .doubt tha~e was the
satie vessel which was rubbTd..v this pi-
ratical sloop. -. I.

,Jl. Robber cnu/ht.-- Thle French
schnr. La Finrestine arrived here on tIhe
21st uilt. from Mailiniqlue; and brought
,200(t dollars in specie. As it was after
suri down when she anchored in our har-
bour, it was thought itest to let the specie
remain on buard Ibr' the night. Next'
mniorning, however, it was found that the
whole of the money hiad vanished, and
that the mate whose'name was John Gar-.
onde,had also become invisible. It was
not doubted that the said Garonde and
the specie had made thlteir exit simultane-
ously, and it was strongly suspected that
two Frenchmen of thi- town who reside
in Little-Water-steeet (both cronies of.
his) ,vere accomplices in the robbery. The
evidence against.them, however, was not
satistactort enough to commit them upon,
and Garon'de was supposed to have made.
nftf with the booty. But on Tuesday niiht.
last. about fi o'clock, he ant' three othlier

SHAKSPEARE.
The British reviews, though they often
convey to us information of the most de-
lightful as well as important nature, have
never, that we can remember, brought to
nur shores more interesting matter thana
is contained in those of the first quarter
of the present year, .in critical observa-
tions on t6'o liookik then l.ttel$ puhlii51shed
in.London, .,ti thii stilject of some recent'
d-iScoveries made on the west coast of
Corea by the ships of war which accom-
panied, the late embassy from the court
of St. James's to the emperour of China:
and particularly on the 'subject of a vast
nuniber of islands, and among'the rest of
that called the great Loea'hoo, or as it'
has been written by the author of one/of
the hooks, Lew Chew island. The first
of those books is entitled "An account of'
a Vo a-:.e of Discovery to the west coast
of Corea, and the Great Loo-Choo Island,
with an Appendix containing Charts and
various Hydrographical and Scientifical
'Notes.' By Capt. lasil Hill, of the Roy-
al Navy, .F. R. S. Loptldor and Edin-.
burgh, Member of the Asiaticlk Socie-
ty of Calcutta, of the Literary Society of
Arts and Sciences of Batavia. And a

Most living creatures, but above all
those of the human raie, feel for others of
their kind a tirrn -t;,mpath;y. In man,
tins passion is so constant and powerful,
that it has become the source of many of
'his most exquisite. enjoyments and poig-
nant miseries, antd above all. those pains
andpleasures resultingfr'om the intense
curiosity with which he examines his own
nature, as it is developed in. the bound-
less variety of action, sentitiae'nt,and char-
acter that passes befot-e hi|m through life.


Of this. curiosity every man of reflection
must be conscious; though being met by
him in others, it, like every other cir-
cumstance of habitual frequent occur-
rence, escapes the particular observation
of the generality of mankind. Fvery man'
is occupied, more or less. in tracing cA-
mnongst those he converses with the va-
rieties of temper and intellect which con-


stitute thle characters of men, and re-
ceives great pleasure from every stroke
of nature ihit unfolds to him any of those

_The account of the Loo-Choo discovery
exhibits, nothing of this detestable charac,-

degreee of virtuous hospitality, 'which for
unadulterated character, unsparing abun-
danice, and perseverance unfatigued uno-
relaxed and u-ndinminisilhel\. during' six
weeks, has not its parallel in real history,
and scarcely in romance;---so far were
they from carrying on sanguinary wars,
that they possessed no such things as
weapons either for offence or defence; andtt
as to cruelty, they wereso diverse to the
exercise ofany thing resembling that vice,
that -r'hen sonme of the people of the '-hip
shot a lird, the good people entreated
them not to repeat the ac.t, telling them
they loved to see the birds fly about them,
and adding that if it was for food they
wasted them, they would supply ti ein
with abundance: ati.i they did accordingly
furnish them, gratis, with as much a- tlie
chose to ask fi)r.
* "They had rno warlike in,-.ti ment; i.f
any dhsci iptionm" says Mr. McLeod, "no
weapons offensive or defensive, and when
they I eci', t'uia cliii alHe.de t i I .) y 0old ni..t

pleased ivith seeing about-their housess,
adding that if they wished to get them
tnerely for,tle purpose of eating, they
w outld supply them with plenty of fowl.-
Of course'an order was given' to desist."
Far from provoking by fraud, theft,
'vrong of any kind, or duplicity, any thing
like enmity, vengeance or oppression oni
the part of the British, there did no arise
one dispute or disagreement between the
e'nrsl' e: and their strainge visitors, (lur

th nciulrary every day seemed to improve
their friendship every day ih,,v gained

visitorss. They seem to be gifted with a
sortofnation'al politeness, so unrestrain-
ed and so upstudied, that there was not
a man in the ships 'who did not con-
sider the people of the Lew Chew as his
friends. A stronger proof of their cfi-
cilating manners and kindly dispositions
could not be given thin in the following
-passage hy Mr. McLleod: -
"That proud and' haughty feeling of
pationtil supernioity so strongly existing
among the comnion class of British sea-
men, which induces them to hold 'all
foreigners cheap, and to treat them with
contempt, often calling them outlandish
lubbers, in their own country, was, on'


this Island, completely subdued and
tamed, by the gentle manner and kind
behaviour of the most pacific people up-
on earth'. Although completely inter-
mixed, and often working together, both

Srel or complaint took place on either aide,
