Early in 1811 bands of distressed

leader styled general or Ned Ludd. dis-
guised and armed with swords, pistols.

Mr . j. collier, writing on the subject,
®«y* that over 5.000 distinct languages
are spoken by mankind. The number
0 f separate dialects Is enormous. There
are more than sixty vocabularies in
Brasil, and in Mexico the Nahua lan-
guage has broken up into TOO dialects,
There are hundreds lu Borneo. In
Australia there Is no classifying the
complexities, and generally the num¬
ber of dialects is in Inverse proportion
to tbe Intellectual culture of the popu¬
lation. Assume that only fifty dialects
on an average belong to every lan—
guage and we have the colossal total
of 250 ,000 linguistic varieties.—rear-
