DEATHS ABROAD. 
At Serampore, in Bengal, of the cholera 
morbus, the Rev. W. Ward, a zealous Bap- 
tist missionary, who for some years has 
devoted himself to the translation of the 
New Tesiament into the Oriental lan- 
giage; but! with how little effect or skiil is 
shown by the Abbé Dubois. It appeared, 
prima pene: exceedingly strange that fo- 
reigne’'s should master so suddenly so many 
tongues; but it is evident that, as they 
were not mastered, the translations would 
be ludicrous, cifensive, and, therefore, 
worse than useless. How absurd it would 
be, if some learned pundits were to come 
to England, and affect to translate into 
English some of the sacred books of the 
Brahmins. In the murders they would 
‘commit on the English idiom, they would 
murder common sense, and render the sa- 
cred volumes objects of profane ridicule. 
We.refer our readers to the Abbé Dubois, 
and to our Supplement. 
At Stockholm, Baron Samuel Gustavus 
Hermelin, born in that city in 1744’ “The 
employment to which he devoted his time 
and studies was that of superintending the 
mines and mining establishinents, first 
visiting the principal works in Sweden for 
that purpose. He afterwards undertook 
joumeys into Germany and France, aud 
made a voyave to the American United 
States, being also charged with a political 
mission from the Swedish government to 
the president. On his return from Ame- 
‘ yica, he made the tour of England about 
the end of 1784, These excursions \in- 
spired him with an ardent ambition to 
improve the geography and statistics of 
his native country, which he considered 
as less perfect than those of other coun- 
tries. After many surveys undertaken at 
his own expence, he was enabled to cor- 
Treland— Deaths Abroad, 1 gees 
tect the chart of Westro-Bothnia, and 
Lapland ; this was the commencement of a 
vast geographical undertaking, to which 
he applied fifteen years of his life, and no 
small part of his fortune. “After the 
publication of these first charts, his pecn- 
niary means being exhausted, he was 
obliged to relinquish to a company the 
sequel of his labonrs, which lie still conti- 
nued, however, to direct, so as eventually 
to complete an entire Atlas of Sweden. 
in the course of those enquiries which the 
construction of his maps rendered neces- 
sary; he had occasion to observe the 
poverty of the inhabitants in the north, 
and he projected plans for working the 
numerous ivon-mines. ‘Three forges were 
established in Bothnia, roads were made; 
communications facilitated, workmen in- 
vited, aitd habitations and points of culti- 
vation raised. All these ameliorations. 
were at the charge of M. Hermelin,' but 
they were not seconded. Accidental obs 
structions arese, the resources of this sei- 
entific philanthropist were again~ ex: 
hausted, and his property herein acquired 
fellinto other hands. The only indentnifi- 
cation which he received was a medal, 
struck by the College of Nobles, bearing 
this legend: “ Presented to Hermelin by 
his fellow-citizens and friends, for his 
illustration of our conntry, and for peo- 
pling its desert places.” In 1771, the Aca- 
demy of Sciences of Stockholm admitted 
him a member; and, in him, made an ac- 
quisition doubly advantageons, as he was 
ever ready to co-operate with his talents 
and fortune in promoting wsefil under- 
takings. In 1815, he quitted the admi- 
nistration of the mines, afier fifty-four 
years employed in it of active service. 
He was, however, autliorized to retain the 
salary, and the States added to it a petisiow 
of 1000 rix dellars, On the 4th of May, 
18Z0, he was suddenly arrested by death, 
to the regret of his country, his friends; 
and the sciences. His works are mostly 
contained-in the Memoirs of the Academy 
of Stockholm. The titles of those that 
have been printed, separately, are as fol- 
lows :—1. On the Melting and Casting or 
Copper Minerals. 2. On the Use to be 
made of the Stones furnished by the 
Swedish Quarries. 3. On the Resources 
of the different Provinces of Sweden. 4. 
Tables of the Population and Industry of 
Westro-Bothnia. 5. A Mineralogical 
Besciiption of Lapland and Westro- 
Fotknia; and 6. Mineralogical Cliarts of- 
tl.¢ Southern Provinces of Sweden.
