wretched mass of ruins — he visited the President, 

 Capo d'Istrias, at the seat of government. The 

 President of Greece, Mr A. says, entertains en- 

 larged and and liberal views of popular educa- 

 tion. He is decided and earnest in favor of af- 

 tbrding adequate means of education to the whole 

 ma.ss of the population, and says, in writing, that 

 the Bible is to he a school book. Mr A.'s inijuiries 

 were answered in the most kind and liberal man- 

 ner, and on his departure, ho was furnished with 

 letters from the Government, which were of great 

 service to him in the farther prosecution of his 

 object. 



The Greeks have been stigmatised as thieves 

 and pirates, and dcnbtle^s not without reason. — 

 But now, 80 great is the change, so excellent and 

 efficient are governmental regulati<)ns, that Mr A. 

 travelled in the most perfect security. Often the 

 party slept in tents, with their property all e.xpos- 

 ed ; and again, in the former haunts of pirates and 

 in an open boat, without the least reason to a|)pre- 

 hend loss or harm. The Greeks seem to be easily 

 governed, at least when their government is pop- 

 ular, as the present is with the great mass of the 

 nation — active, and singularly cheerful ; their fields 

 and groves, and the mouldering ruins of their an- 

 cient glory, often echoing the voice of song.

The Indians generally cling to their own insti-

 rests at will, to i)ursue their game, to attack their
