I.—An Account of the Karens, a race of people inhabiting the mountainous parts of the Burman Empire and Siam; with some particulars regarding the Introduction of the Gospel among them.

Mr. Wade, during his late visit to Calcutta, on his way to America for the benefit of his health, and partly from the correspondence of his associates.

The Karens inhabit the back ground and mountainous parts of all the provinces in the Burman Empire, even beyond Ava, as well as of the Tenasserim Provinces belonging to the British; they also occupy a large tract of country lying between the British possessions and the kingdom of Siam.

Those of them who reside in the Burmese provinces are of course under the Burman government; but they have also chiefs of their own, who are called Sunkais, and whose office is hereditary. These chiefs are looked up to as arbiters in all matters of dispute between man and
