They do not resemble the Red Indian either in facial con tour or color, as they are the whitest in com plexion of all the Indian tribes. This may be due to the climate, and the absence of sun shine.

Excerpt from Round the World, Vol. 2 Nowhere is the intelligence and adaptability of the American workman better illustrated than in the making of glass. It is but a few years since this was an infant industry; but so well has the industry thriven that to-day the infant has almost attained maturity, for, in many branches, the glass we manufacture excels that of all other countries. An ancient art it is, and its history is so replete with interest that it has attracted many students. But few questions have been more discussed than the origin of glass. Ph nicia, Phrygia, Thebes, and Sidon, each has its champions, who claim for it the discovery of the process of vitrifaction. Others still place its origin even further back, claiming that when man first discovered fire and subjected natural bodies to its action, he must have discovered the vitrifaction of certain substances. If the last theory is to be accepted we must conclude that glass was discovered less than a hundred and fifty years after the birth of the world.

Excerpt from Round the World, Vol. 1: A Series of Letters; Europe and America We have printed these letters just as they were. In a few of them there will be found some repetitions. This was inevitable, for they were written for papers published widely apart, and intended for readers in different sections of the country. But these repetitions are rather a charm than a fault, for they give greater fresh ness and vivacity to the descriptions. Besides, the language is varied, and what is repeated is told in a new way and with additional circum stances. Had we attempted to make any changes, we should have marred the whole; and had we omitted, we would have lost some of the best pages.

Excerpt from A Collection of Voyages Round the World, Performed by Royal Authority, Vol. 4: Containing a Complete Historical Account of Captain Cook's First, Second, Third and Last Voyages, Undertaken for Making New Discoveries, &C The city of Laguna, which fiands near a lake', about nine miles from the fea, _ is the principal place in Tene rifi'e: it is called by the Spaniards St. Ch'riftoval de la Laguna, and is handfomely built, having two parifh churches, and a palace for the governor, who refides here. The aldermen of this city pay a price to the king to ferve their offices of magifirates but this gives them great power over the inhabitants, who are divided into three claiies, namely, gentlemen, merchants, and hufbandmen, or as they are termed by the natives, idle men, bufy men, and labouring men. The land on each fide of the road, leading to Laguna, is, in general, rocky, but fome fpots of corn-land are interfperfed here and there, and terminated by fmall vineyards on the fides cf the mountains. This city prefents the be holder with an agreeable profpeft, as it {lands on the fide of a hill, and firetches its fkirts on the plain be hind: it is large, compaet, and populous: the houfes, though not uniform, have a pleafant appearance; be fides the governor's houfe, and the two parifh churches, here are two nunneries, four convents, an hofpital, and fome chapels, befides many gentlemen's houfesa The convents are thofe of St. Francis, St. Augufiine, St. Dominic, and St. Diego. The churches have pretty high fquare fieeples, which top' the ref't of the build ings. The fireets are not regular, yet they are for the mofl: part fpacious, and near the middle of the town is a large parade, which has good buildings about it. There is a ftrong prifon on one fide of it, near which is a large conduit of good water that fupplies all the town., The inhabitants have many gardens that are fet round with orange, lime, and other fruit trees, in the middle of which are flowers, fallading, &c. And indeed, if the people were curious this way, they might have very pleafant gardens: for the town {lands high from the fea, on the brow of a plain that is all open to the eaft, and has confequently the benefit of the trade wind.
