Some other important confederations which it is hoped will as modi encour age. the liberality of the public as they animate the hopes and labors of tire M ilionaries in lndi3, ought to be brief ly Rated. At Scrampore, the imme diate lent of the million, there are a and printing presses to pother with a valuable library, confid ing chiefly of books, containing the various copies and readings of the lcrip / tures, with whatever can materially facilitate the labors of a translator Learned natives can be procured to aflift in tire woik ; and the local lunation of the rcifitnn is fueh as will render its distribution throughout India easy and immediate. The Miflionaries them- Llves (among whom is the laborious, It amed and pious Mr Car.y, profeffor of Oriental languages in the college of F-rt William, at Calcutta) have been {> long engaged in Audying language aid in trer.Hating, that the employ merit, hi* become in a good degree habitual. fhv n languages are spoken in India— the (Jotkul winch prevails among four m Uionsuf the inhabitants ; the Tcling a aid Kurrati each spoken by about fe ve.i millions ; the Maharjt’.a used by eight millions five 1 hundred thousand ; the Til u! by upwards of nine millions ; the Hindafianee by at lea A forty.five isi'tiions ; and the Bengalee, in which the tra: flation is already completed, by s number of inhabitants nearly equalling the population of the United States of America. The total of the benighted idolaters of India, equals about the one- ■ eigth of the whole race of men now dwelling on our globe.
