illustrated through the medium of Script Symbols, Ciphers, and
Musical Notes, that each nation or body of men, while successively

French to become the paramount speech of mankind, upon every
theme, from the rising to the setting sun.
Our own British Anglo-American dialect seems the most. con-
spicuous instrument at present for diffusing and perpetuating the
blessings of good government, liberty, price, plenty, and benevo-
lence,' in process of time, among the whole human race, by its in-
nate superiority to every competitor as a universal language—a fact
which will be made perfectly evident when English is rudimentally
explained and rationally reformed in the Polyglossal British Atlas,

BORTHWICK HAM MST'S TWELFTH and FINAL
RF.POItT to the HONOURABLE EAST INDIA DIREC-
TORS, concerning his HINDOOSTANEE and PERSIAN
LECTURES in LONDON, which will cease to be delivered
officially by him, under their patronage and authority, after the
30th of June, 1823, especially as he hopes by that period to be en-
abled. from private enterprise alone, to commence, for the benefit
of all respectable persons, whatever their country, creed, colour, or
calling may be, a regular course of inductive, elliptical instruc-
tions, on categoric, omni-lingual principles, by a long-tried pro-
cess peculiarly his own. Seasonable notice of the new plan's mani.
fohl advantages will be given to the East Indian Court of Proprie-
tors in particular, and the British Indian public at large, in the
fullest conviction that, if they dare give a manly individual coun-
tenance to Dr. 8.0.'s eximprehenfive schemes: such magnsnimity
on their part is the one thing still most needful to crown the inde-
fatigable efforts or his whole life, cheerfully spent in the cause of
humanity, practical utility, saving knowledge, common sense, and'
literary truth, with complete success ; independent of all other
legitimate support from the mere Holy Allied Powers that be at
present in any quarter of the Dlobe.

The following account of this work is given in the Monthly Re.
view, June, 1814:
" The able narrative which we have been perusing, leaves on the
mind impressions of the utmost detestation of the spiritual tyranny
exercised by the Court of Rome. Providence never made use of so
terrible a scourge to chastise mankind. No power ever outraged
the interests of society, the principles of justice, and the claims of
humanity, to the same extent. Never did the world behold such
blasphemy, profligacy, and wantonness, as in the proceedings of
this spiritual domination. it held the human mind in chains;
visited with exemplary punishment every inroad on the domains or
ignorance; and sank nations into a state of stupidity and imbe-
cility. Its proscriptions, massacres, murders, and all the various
forms which its cruelties assumed ; the miseries which it heaped on
the objects of its vengeance, its merciless treatment of them, and
the grasp of its iron sway. seemed at one time to leave no room to
hope for the liberation of the human race ; and surely nothing can
appear more hideous than this power in its true colours: it leases
the mind full of horror at its cruelties."—See also the British Critic,
