"We feel bound to acknowledge the utility of Mr. Small's labours, and can conscientiously recommend his book."-The Homeward Mail, 16th June, 1858.

"All the officers who were well acquainted with the Hindoostanee being selected for staff appointments, only those were left in most regiments who knowing but little of the language, had but little intercourse with their men, and therefore they learnt nothing of all this (mutinous spirit) except in one or two corps where some chance linguist remained, and those corps have generally not mutinied, as their officers learnt their complaints, and explained the matter to them."

The great importance of the Malay Language is scarcely appreciated by Scholars or Merchants. In the endless groups of islands scattered towards the South-Eastern Coast of China, Malay is the leading, indeed the only language understood by many discordant races; in fact it is one of ancient literary culture, and the universal language of commerce throughout the Eastern Archipelago. Even along near a thousand miles of the S. E. Chinese coast, Malay, not Chinese, is spoken. Of the political and commercial importance of the Malay-speaking population, see Crawfurd's valuable works, also an extremely interesting article, "The Maha-Raja of Zabedj," by J.

"It is much to be regretted that the Court of Directors do not hold greater facilities to the officers of their service to study Arabic. There was abundant work during the late short campaign for at least 15 duly qualified interpreters, whereas there was only one in the whole force who could act in that capacity. No little inconvenience and great difficulties and delays were consequently experienced, especially by the Land Transport and Commissariat Department, whose agents, scattered over the country where Arabic is the only language spoken, was comparatively helpless. In Persian we were somewhat better off; but, even in this respect, there did not appear to be an officer present with the force who could indite a proper Persian letter without the aid of a native moonshee. This state of things, especially during a war, when it is frequently of the greatest moment to keep correspondence secret, is much to be deprecated; and it is accordingly to be hoped that steps will be taken to secure higher qualifications in our officers who pass in Persian, and who should be entirely independent of all native co-operation."-Letter from Mohammerah, May 17, 1857.

"Mr. Bleeck has furnished a most useful grammar for students of the Persian language . Those who wish to acquire that language rapidly, and do not care to plunge into the depths in which
