take charge of a letter for bitni Some remains of antiquity , some columns pf the temple of Cybele , of the church of the Panagia , the theatre , and the supposed house of Croesus , are described , and an account of Sardis is given from Chandler * From Sardis they passed through Marmora to Thyatira , which they found
a large place abounding with shops . An account of the town is copied from Smith * They proceeded then to Magnesia , having been amused on their road by the horsemanship of some Turks , and the fall of a poor black , whose norse threw him into a deep ditch ; but he did not mind it . From thence they returned to Smyrna on the 28 th of April . Thus ends our author ' s first journey , in which we confess we have not been able to find many
things which can either excite interest or give information . We shall not follow our author with equal minuteness through his second journey , which he commenced on the 5 th of September . He pursued a somewhat different route through Baindir , Tripolis , Deenare , and so home again by Pergamus . He was as easily convinced of his mistake , with
respect to the site of Apameia , on this second journey , as he had fallen hastily into it on his first . Still the main objects of his travels , the precise sites of Colossae , Antioch of Pisidja , and Sagalassus , remain in as much obsurity as if Mr , Arundell had kept himself quiet at Smyrna . The book is , however , written in a pleasant , easy style . This commendation we can justly afford him , though we cannot say that science is indebted to him for many new discoveries .

a dialect fonned obviously from the Latin , and in different degrees of purity , but in the end divided into two principal sections;—the Southern French or Provencal ;—and the North or Norman French , which has in the end swallowed up its rival . The remains of the Provencal or Troubadour dialect have not till lately been cultivated as they deserve , but the earliest specimens of note are relw
gious . One of the most curious preserves the remembrance of a very anciept practice in the Gallicag Church ,. Its ritual formerly enjoined the reading of the lives of the , saints during mass on their respective days . This practice ; w . a § \ n later tinges ^ uspen / ded , and the lives were only read at evening prayers . £ ut it appears that , for a long time , the lives and acts of such as are mentioned ^ the New testament continued to be delivered in the
chancel , TChe piece to whiclji we allude is probably of the eleventh century , and is entitled the " Planch de Sant Esteve . " In it the passages from the Acts of the Apostles referring to St . Stephen are introduced in the Vulgate latin * and placed between passages of metrical translation or paraphrase in the , popular tongue , for the scriptural instruction of the hearers ,.
