THE ASIATIC JOURNAL

Is not of so abstruse a character this mooPt,
as it sometimes is, and therefore to us who ti
not profess to understand all the languages it
Asia, has afforded more than the usual 50
of amusement we derive from this magaZt
It is not, however, destitute of matter of soli
information ; as witness its notice of M. 0,
Overmeer Fisscher'a work on Japan, which OA
ii
tains many instructive particulars. The articif
in which amusement has been the principal obj
aimed at by the contributors are the " Sketc i
of Indian Society, No. V." and the specifilei
given of the popular tales of Hindostan.

we would recommend all lovers of that spedi
of game to place this month in the hands of tb'
sporting friends. The writer says—
" I never see an August pass, but the papers evetl,
full of complaints of the state in which grouse arrive?
indeed, considering the weather at that period, let'
