FINAL RF.POItT to the HONOURABLE EAST INDIA DIRECTORS, 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 enabled. 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 instructions, on categoric, omni-lingual principles, by a long-tried process peculiarly his own. Seasonable notice of the new plan's mani. fohl advantages will be given to the East Indian Court of Proprietors in particular, and the British Indian public at large, in the fullest conviction that, if they dare give a manly individual countenance to Dr. 8.0.'s eximprehenfive schemes: such magnsnimity on their part is the one thing still most needful to crown the indefatigable 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.

Fount) Edition.  rrHE HISTORY of the CHRISTIAN CHURCH, L from the Birth of Christ to the UM Century ; including the interesting Account of the Waldenses and Albigenses, who, during the dark days of Popery, remained faithful witnesses for the testimony of God and the faith of Jesus. By WILLIAM JONES, Author of the Biblical Cyclopatlia, &c.  London.: Printed for the Author, and sold by W. Simpkin and R. Marshall, Stationers' Hall-court, and all Hookst  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 imbecility. 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, for June, 11113—Eclectic Review, July, 1818—Evangelical Maga. sine, 1813. . . . . .
