Little more than half a century passed away since then, and what do we see? "We have now before us a descriptive catalogue of Bengalee works containing a classified list of fourteen hundred books and pamphlets, by the Rev. James Long." Of this catalogue we have a selection of nearly five hundred works in mathematics, natural philosophy, grammar, history, biography, medicine, metaphysics, together with a great variety of elementary works suited for students whose knowledge is limited. Many of the works enumerated in the catalogue are "wretched trash, intended to gratify the depraved taste of the country, and to stimulate the libidinous passions of a warm climate. But even this fact may be turned to account, if it enforces on us the necessity of endeavoring to correct and elevate the national taste, by means of education and the press. But many of the works are of a higher character, and serve to demonstrate the capabilities of the language, which, as a cloak for indolence and inaction, it has been the custom, for more than a quarter of a century, to depreciate." This language, which the advocates of English have represented as without form, rude, and barbarous, the natives themselves have improved, and have enriched it with works in almost every department of literature and science, not even excepting phrenology.

It is a very singular and striking fact that the cultivation of the Bengalee language has increased with this strange rapidity, and within the present century, a period during which education has been confined to the English, and the efforts of the government have been mainly directed to aid its diffusion among the native community. These efforts, however, have by no means weakened the hold of the vernacular on the people. They rather seem to have had a contrary effect. "For one man who receives any mental impression through the medium of English works, there are a dozen whose thoughts and feelings are influenced and wielded by

but

It has often been asserted, and by many it is believed, that English will supersede the vernacular. But these facts clearly prove the contrary; for the more the former is encouraged, the more the latter flourishes. There are now thirty-five native presses in Calcutta alone. During the past year there were printed in that city, in the native language, nearly one hundred thousand volumes, for which there was a ready sale.

Moreover, these facts must have an important influence on missionary operations, particularly in regard to schools. They are known to the brethren in India, and we earnestly hope that as they are sitting in conference at the time we are writing, to consider this among other questions, they will be guided to right resolves. If they see that the time has arrived when English shall be taught in the schools as an accomplishment rather than used as a medium of instruction, and that greater attention shall be paid than in years past, though it has been far from small, to the wider and more constant use of the native languages in all public ministrations and in the schools, they will not only be sustained by the sympathy of their friends at home, but fully justified by the facts which have thus been brought to light. To us it is quite plain
