The glory and greatness Of man, as

some parts Of the earth the lights of
civilization, learning and refinement are
paling their Intellectual fires before the
baleful shadows of ignorance, idolatry
and superstition. In Asia Minor the
traveller treads upon soil rich in his
torlc lore, and the recollections of a
glorious past, while the present popu-
lation is degraded by ignorance and
slavery. The glory and splendor of
twenty different nations that rose and
flourshcd there, have been extin-
g,lished, and the star Of their former
greatness has set in the gloom Of a
starless night. on which no future NOR
