sights or dialogues; and though, in gene-

for knowledge in general, and especially for 
such knowledge as regards the history, and .

country! We are presently to advert to the 
conversation of the following day, when Mr. 
Dartmouth spoke of the whole plan, and 
public ornament and utility of the Zoological 
Society ;. and of the interesting and instructive 
biography of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, 
the chief and most zealous instrument of its 
foundation.
