thought to have been taken fVqm
Norm” America to England by
the famous but unfortunate sir
Walter Raleigh ; Latterly the o
, pinion seems to be, that it is a
I native of South America, that
highly important portion of the
globe, so long kept in a state of
bondage by the Spaniards ; what
ever country may have been the
| origin of this truly valuable root,
lit has become one of the most
essential articles of food in the
whole catalogue of eatables—it
is not only one of the most nu
tritious of all that contribute to
the sustenance of man, but is al
so the most productive, as it is
ascertained, that one acre of po-j
tatoes is equal to four acres ofj

It is a curious fact, that, whether
it be owing to the climate or su
pericr cultivation, it is much drier
and has a finer favor in that court
'try than any ether ; accordingly,
Ireland Las given its name to
this precious root, and 41 the 1*
Irish potato” is distinguished and
preferred to all others.

Sir James Mackintosh, when
‘at Paris, paid a visit to the Deaf
and Dumb Institution there.—
The Abbe Sicard introduced sev
eral of his pupils to him, to one
i of whom Mas men, at sir James's
request, the following question

|question written, at first appeared

jedthis decisive and logical sclu
