Continental Companies of the present day, 488-Life Assurance does
not flourish in America, 490-its origin and progress in this country,
490-4—an abundant crop of new Companies produced by the
rage
for Joint-Stock establishments, 494-general observations, 495-not
the interest of the public to urge a reduction of the rates of Assur-
ance, 495-508-important difference in the former and present prac-
tice, as it regards the duration of the lives insured, 498-great want
of science in the Managers of many of the existing Companies, 505-

509-511-the most respectable of them particularized, 512.

on it, 205-its progress to independence, 206-its independence re-
cognised by treaty, 211-13.

more offensive to correct taste, 154-his Sermon sur l'Impenitence
Finale, one of his best, 163.
Bourdaloue, his greatest glory to have left the supremacy of Massillon
in dispute, 165-a passage from him on hypocrisy, ib.-appeals, with
great effect, to the terrors of his audience, 166—not chargeable with

Catholic Question, baseness and tergiversation respecting it, 423-folly
of opposing it up to the last moment, 425-433-altogether distinct
from the conduct of the Catholic leaders, 426—nothing asked for the
Catholics but what is allowed to the Dissenters, 429-the Catholic
laws obsolete, 430-history falsified by the representations of the Pro-
testants, 431-inconsistency of the Legislature, 432-absurdity of

of this Question, 445-late defeat of this Question in the House of

logy, 248-no pretext for his assertion, that the testimony of the Re-

pamphlet written with much acuteness, but sophistical and evasive,

Lord Redesdale's pamphlet on this subject, 470.
Drama, its object the exhibition of the human character, 278.
Duties, moderate, advantages of, 169.
East India Company, no reason to suppose that the condition of India

nopoly, 359-had sustained a loss on the whole of its commercial
concerns from 1793 to 1815, 360—its trade not prosecuted to any

sel, 78-two capital errors in the criminal codes of feudal Europe, 79
an absurd argument advanced in the Honourable House, 80-the as-
sertion absurd that the Judge is counsel for the prisoner, 81-no na-
tion in the world, except the English, who have refused to prisoners
the benefit of counsel, 84-civil and criminal cases compared, 86-9—
singular caprice of the law, 90-cases of felony and treason compared,
91-answer to the objection of time, 93.

of the merchandise exported by them from 1815-22, 363-nothing
in the habits of the natives to prevent the indefinite increase of this
trade, 367.
Geology, the youngest of the physical sciences, 295-no department of
it more interesting than that which relates to volcanoes, 296.
Grover, Mr, a considerable portion of cleverness and dramatic power in
his play of Anne Boleyn, 328-two scenes from it, 329-30-more
than hinted by him that the coincidence between himself and Mr Mil-
man was not accidental, 331.
Hieroglyphics, their invention facilitated by the classifications, tropes,
&c. which prevail in oral language, 100-testimonies of Herodotus

102-4-Greek and Roman authors chiefly struck with symbolic cha-
racters, 105-the cabalistical reveries of Kircher, 106-did not im-
pose on Bishop Warburton, 107-theories of La Pluche and others,

fortune in discovering a new monument, 122-a hieroglyphic alphabet

names on the Egyptian edifices, 125-27-Mr Salt's discoveries, 128
-33-M. Champollion's Précis du Système Hieroglyphique, &c., a
work of the highest value, 133-application of his phonetic alphabet
to grammatical forms, 135-and proper names, 137-141-use of
phonetic signs traced to a remote antiquity, 141-44-synoptical view
of the elements of hieroglyphic writing, 144-Seyfarth's work on this
subject, 528-a mere exposition of the doctrines of Spohn, 529-pro-
ceeds upon an erroneous assumption, and involves the greatest absur-
dities, 530-classification of Hieroglyphics according to this theory,
533-the readings of M. Champollion vindicated, 534-extraordinary
coincidences connected with the revival of Egyptian literature, 535-8
irresistible evidence supplied by them, 539.

ander, 237.
Humphrey's, Mr, his work on the state of the English Laws entitles
him to the gratitude of his country, 474.
India, expectations of a surplus revenue from that country fallacious, 340
-5-the remittal of such a revenue to England stigmatized by Mr
Burke and others' as unjust, 346-the commercial monopoly of the
East India Company incompatible with the good government of the
people of India, 365-the surplus revenues of India capable of being
realized in England without it, 366-the remittances from India on
account of individuals, not an important article in the revenue of Eng-
land, 368.
