To his exertions, literary and patriotic, I am intrusted with a commission by a Greek of great praise is undoubtedly due, but a part of that praise Athens, named Marmarotouri, to make arrangements, ought not to be withheld from the two brothers Zosimado if possible, for printing in London a translation of Bar(merchants settled in Leghorn), who sent him to Paris, and maintained him, for the express purpose of elucidating the ancient, and adding to the modern researches of his countrymen. Coray, however, is not considered by his countrymen equal to some who lived in the two last centuries: more particularly Dorotheus of Mitylene, whose Hellenic writings are so much esteemed by the Greeks, that Meletius terms him, "Méra rèv Θουκυδίδην καὶ Ξενοφώντα ἄριστος Ελλήνων.” (Ρ. 224. Ecclesiastical History, vol. iv.) thelemi's Anacharsis in Romaic, as he has no other opportunity, unless he despatches the MS. to Vier.na by the Black Sea and Danube. The reviewer mentions a school established at Hecatonesi, and suppressed at the instigation of Sebastiani; he means Cidonies, or, in Turkish, Haivali; a town on the continent where that institution, for a hundred students and three professors, still exists. It is true, that this establishment was disturbed by the Porte, under the ridiculous pretext that the Greeks were constructing a fortress instead of a college; but on investigation, and the payment of some purses to the Divan, it has been permitted to continue. The principal professor, named Veniamin (i. e. Benjamin), is stated to be a man of talent, but a free-thinker. He was born in Lesbos, studied in Italy, and is master of Hellenic, Latin, and some Frank languages, besides a smattering of the sciences. Panagiotes Kodrikas, the translator of Fontenelle, and Kamarases, who translated Ocellus Lucanus on the Universe into French, Christodoulus, and more particularly Psalida, whom I have conversed with in Joannina, are also in high repute among their literati. The last-mentioned has published in Romaic and Latin a work on "True Happiness," dedicated to Catherine II.

It is to be regretted that the system of continental blockade has closed the few channels through which the Greeks received their publications, particularly Venice and Trieste. Even the common granimars for children are become too dear for the lower orders. Amongst their original works, the Geography of Meletius, Archbishop of Athens, and a multitude of theological quartos and poetical pamphlets, are to be met with their grammars and lexicons of two, three, and four languages, are numerous and excellent.

G-, Esq., for a small gem: my antiquarian friends have never forgotten history and modern politics instruct us that something more than physical perfection is necessary to preserve a state in vigour and independence; and the Greeks, in particular, are a melancholy example of the near connexion between moral degradation and national decay. The reviewer mentions a plan, "we believe," by Potemkin, for the purification of the Romaic, and I have endeavoured in vain to procure any tidings or traces of its existence. There was an academy in St. Petersburg for the Greeks: but it was suppressed by Paul, and has not been revived by his successor. There is a slip of the and it can only be a slip of the pen, pen, in p. 58, No. xxxi, of the Edinburgh Review, where these words occur:-"We are told that when the capital of the East yielded to Solyman”—It may be pre2 In Gail's pamphlet against Coray, he talks of "throwing sumed that this last word will, in a future edition, be t, or forgiven me. the insolvent Helleniste out of the windows." On this a French critic exclaims, "Ah, my God! throw a Helleniste out of the window! what sacrilege!" It certainly would be a serious business for those authors who dwell in the attics: but I have quoted the passage merely to prove the similarity of style among the controversialists of all polished countries: Londor or Edinburgh could hardly parallel this Parisian spullition. altered to Mahomet II.' The "ladies of Constantinople," 1 In a former number of the Edinburgh Review, 1808, it is observed, "Lord Byron passed some of his early years in Scotland, where he might have learned that pibroch does not mean a bagpipe, any more than duet means a fiddle." Query, -Was it in Scotland that the young gentlemen of the Edin seems, at that period spoke a dialect, "which would not have disgraced the lips of an Athenian." I do not know how that might be, but am sorry to say the ladies in general, and the Athenians in particular, are much altered; being far from choice either in their dialect or expressions, as the whole Attic race are barbarous to a proverb: « η Αθηνα προτη χώρα Τι γαιδαρους τρέφεις τώρα; able specimens of their epistolary style. I also received some at Constantinople from private persons, written in a most hyperbolical style, but in the true antique character. The reviewer proceeds, after some remarks on the tongue in its past and present state, to a paradox (page 59) on the great mischief the knowledge of his own language has done to Coray, who, it seems, is less likely to understand the ancient Greek, because he is perfect master of the modern! This observation follows a paraIn Gibbon, vol. x. p. 161, is the following sentence:“The vulgar dialect of the city was gross and barbarous, the Romaic, as "a powerful auxiliary," not only to the graph, recommending, in explicit terms, the study of though the compositions of the church and palace some-traveller and foreign merchant, but also to the classical umes affected to copy the purity of the Attic models." scholar; in short, to every body except the only person Whatever may be asserted on the subject, it is difficult who can be thoroughly acquainted with its uses: and to conceive that the "ladies of Constantinople," in the by a parity of reasoning, our old language is conjectured reign of the last Cæsar, spoke a purer dialect then Anna to be probably more attainable by "foreigners" than Comnena wrote three centuries before: and those royal by ourselves!

I mention this as a proof that the spirit of inquiry is not dormant amongst the Greeks. mar or glossary; and to most apprehensions it seems evident, that none but a native can acquire a competent, far less complete, knowledge of our obsolete idioms. We may give the critic credit for his ingenuity, but no more believe him than we do Smollett's Lismahago, who maintains that the purest English is spoken in Edinburgh. That Coray may err is very possible; but if he does, the fault is in the man rather than in his mother tongue, which is, as it ought to be, of the greatest aid to the native student.-Here the Reviewer proceeds to business on Strabo's translators, and here I close my remarks. The reviewer mentions Mr. Wright, the author of the beautiful poem "Hora Ionicæ," as qualified to give details of these nominal Romans and degenerate Greeks, and also of their language: but Mr. Wright, though a good poet and an able man, has made a mistake where be states the Albanian dialect of the Romaic to approxi- Sir.

ADDITIONAL NOTE, ON THE TURKS. The difficulties of travelling in Turkey have been much exaggerated, or rather have considerably diminished of late years. The Mussulmans have been beaten into a kind of sullen civility, very comfortable to voyagers. "Cadimus inque vicem præbemus crura sagittis." It is hazardous to say much on the subject of Turks The mistake seemed so completely a lapse of the pen (from and Turkey; since it is possible to live amongst them the treat similarity of the two words, and the total absence twenty years without acquiring information, at least of error from the former pages of the literary leviathan), that I should have passed it over as in the text, had I not perceived from themselves.

What then is left him, if he has a turn George Constantine has published a four-tongued for scribbling? Religion and holy biography: and it is natural enough that those who have so little in this life should look to the next. It is no great wonder then that in a catalogue now before me of fifty-five Greek writers, many of whom were lately living, not above fifteen should have touched on any thing but religion. The catalogue alluded to is contained in the twenty-sixth chapter of the fourth volume of Meletius's Ecclesiastical History. From this I subjoin an extract of those who have written on general subjects; which will be followed by some specimens of the Romaic. There exist several other dictionaries in Latin and Romaic, French, etc., besides grammars, in every modern language, except English. Amongst the living authors the following are most celebrated: ' Athanasius Parios has written a treatise on rhetoric in Hellenic. Christodoulos, an Acarnanian, has published, in Vienna, some physical treatises in Hellenic. Panagiotes Kodrikas, an Athenian, the Romaic trans LIST OF ROMAIC AUTHORS.' Neophitus, Diakonos (the deacon) of the Morea, has lator of Fontenelle's "Plurality of Worlds" (a favourite published an extensive grammar, and also some politi-work amongst the Greeks), is stated to be a teacher of cal regulations, which last were left unfinished at his the Hellenic and Arabic languages in Paris, in both of which he is an adept. death. Prokopius, of Moscopolis (a town in Epirus), has written and published a catalogue of the learned Greeks. Seraphin, of Periclea, is the author of many works in the Turkish language, but Greek character, for the Christians of Caramania, who do not speak Romaic, but read the character. Eustathius Psalidas, of Bucharest, a physician, made the tour of England for the purpose of study (xápiv padh☛rws): but though his name is enumerated, it is not stated that he has written any thing. Kalinikus Torgeraus, Patriarch of Constantinople: many poems of his are extant, and also prose tracts, and a catalogue of patriarchs since the last taking of Constantinople. Anastasius Macedon, of Naxos, member of the royal academy of Warsaw. A church biographer. Demetrius Pamperes, a Moscopolite, has written many works, particularly “A Commentary on Hesiod's Shield of Hercules," and two hundred tales (of what is tot specified), and has published his correspondence with the celebrated George of Trebizond, his contemporary. Meletins, a celebrated geographer; and author of the book from whence these notices are taken. Dorotheus, of Mitylene, an Aristotelian philosopher: nis Hellenic works are in great repute, and he is esteemed by the moderns (I quote the words of Meletius) perà τῶν Θουκυδίδην καὶ Ξενοφῶντα ἄριςος Ελλήνων. Ι add further, on the authority of a well-informed Greek, that he was so famous amongst his countrymen, that they were accustomed to say, if Thucydides and Xenophon were wanting, he was capable of repairing the loss. Marinus Count Tharboures, of Cephalonia, professor of chemistry in the academy of Padua, and member of that academy and those of Stockholm and Upsal. He has published, at Venice, an account of some marine animal, and a treatise on the properties of run. Marcus, brother to the former, famous in mechanics. 1 It is to be observed that the names given are not in chrosological order, but consist of some selected at a venture from: inst those who flourished from the taking of ConstantiRople to the time of Meletius. Athanasius, the Parian, author of a treatise on rhet oric. Vicenzo Damodos, of Cephalonia, has written "cis rò proobúpbapov," on logic and physics. John Kamarases, a Byzantine, has translated into French Ocellus on the Universe. He is said to be an excellent Hellenist and Latin scholar. Gregorio Demetrius published, in Vienna, a geographical work: he has also translated several Italian authors, and printed his versions at Venice. Of Coray and Psalida some account has been already given. GREEK WAR SONG." ΔΕΥ͂ ΤΕ παῖδες τῶν Ἑλλήνων, ποῦ μᾶς δῶσαν τὴν ἀρχήν. τὸν ζυγὸν τῆς τυραννίδος. παῖδες Ελλήνων, ἄγωμεν. 2.

Ρώσσος, Άγγλος, καὶ Γάλλος κάμνοντες τὴν περιήγησιν but this extract will be found sufficient. The Romaic in this composition is so easy as to render a version an insult to a scholar; but those who do not understand the original will excuse the following bad translation of what is in itself indifferent.

The above is the commencement of a long dramatic virate; and the above will sufficiently show with what kind of composition the Greeks are now satisfied. I trust I have not much injured the original in the few lines given as faithfully, and as near the “Oh, Miss Bailey! unfortunate Miss Bailey !” measure of the Romaic, as I could make them. Almost all their pieces, above a song, which aspire to the name of poetry, contain exactly the quantity of feet of "A captain bold of Halifax who lived in country quarters," which is, in fact, the present heroic couplet of the Romaic.
