Ancient WRITRRs.-A correspondent asks n
there is "doy evidence that there were ever any
writings Hore ancient than those Of Mosesi" Yes,
Samuel P}at has proved in his Miscellanea, that
the Ph9nlcans had letters long before the time OF
Noses atsf that they spoke language similar to
that Of fhb Hebre vs.. The learned Boekart proves
the same Thing. So Blount affirms that the wri.
tings of qcellss Lucanus on the origin OF tho
world, arr older than the time Of Moses. Another
old write3 Of great repute, DR.. Brown. says :-"I
believe, besides Zoroaster, there were divers
others Mt wrote before Moses" Even Jose2hus,
while BOOSTING Of the antiquity Of his nation, the
Jews, adynts that the Egyptians. Pheniciaos and
Chaldeant, have more ancient records than the
jews. ~ the Chaldesns, Diodorus Sciculus says:
you VIII hardly believe the number Of years
that thef College Of Chaldeans affirmed they
had sp3nt in ontemplating the universe
for beort the expedition Of Alex ander into Egypt
they reckoned four hundred and seventy thou
sand yeats from the time they began to observe
the stsrtsn Cicero also mentions this same as
Dgichronology Of the Chaldesns. At any
rate, whatever We may think OF the startling
chronology Of the Chsldesns, il is not now doubt
ed by nsn Of the first character for learning that
many nations had letters long before the date Of
the M0stic writings Plato ASSERTS that Athens
was inhabited long before the historical Athens
by miahty race, which was swept away by q
food srd destroyed, and thatthe said race existed
there ted thoussnd years before the food which
destroyed them. And In old Asrobius>s Treaties
