This small addition to their own lucubrations, and this large increase of portions 0 Scrip- ture, augur well. The different books of the Old ’I‘estament are marked Vols. I., II., and IV., while the one book of the New is marked Vol. 1., indicating that the publish- ers intend to carry the work'through in suc- cessive volume to the end. In the Old Testament they have followed Gutzlali"s version, without the alteration of a single character, that being the only one with which the insurgents were acquainted. In the New Testament, they have followed» the version prepared by myself and Gutzlalf in I835. This was the version whic the Bible Society declined when it was offered to them in I836. After my departure from China for England in I835, Gutzlalf fre-

RELIGIONS OF TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

The North Brilisli Review thus compares the religions of Turkey and Russia:

“ It is not true, in the sense in which it is ordinnril plleged, that the Russians are our fellow-Christians, and that the Turks are ‘ Unbelievers.’ Both, according to our view of their creed, are ‘ vnis-believers.’

matter were truly understood, we should not find that English Protestants and Scotch Protestants still more, have at least as much sympathy of faith and feeling with the Mahometan monotheist as with the benighted votaries ofthe Russian Church. The Turks pray to God only—‘ the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and Jacob;’ the Rus-
