to receive a visit from JACOB ESIE SEIM, ARV, a 'iamaritan.
from Nablous, the ancient Sychar, in company with Mr. E. T.

The Rev. Joseph Wolff, 1) D., vicar of Isle Brewers, at whose
house the Samaritan will remain until Monday next, is the well-

his second journey to Bokhara in behalf of Colonel Stodilart and

When curate of High Hoyland in Yorkshire, in 1840, had also the
unexpected visit of Mar Athanasius, Bishop of Mesoriotatnia, woo
addressed the Doctor's corgregation there in the Arabic tongue,
interpreted by Dr. Wolff. About 3,000 persons were then present.
It cannot be doubted that curiosity will bring at this time as many
to Isle Brewers.
Dr. Wolff is well known among the Samaritans at Mount
Gerizim.

Which belonged Israel, the Government Se,retary in Jaffa, who had
correspondence with you thirty years ago. And whist I was going
about London, I visited a cler.yman, who said that Dr. Wolff could
