languages. Also, the Journal Asiatique, with its continuation, in 

 hopes that the subscription will be continued. Also, the works of 

 Jomard, Prichard, Klaproth and Remusat. Also, Micali's History of 

 the ancient Italian Nations, in Italian, three volumes 8vo., with the 

 plates belonging to it. Also, the Geography of Malte Brun, as those 

 books shall be found in my library. * * * I except from the books 

 given to the Philosophical Society those of which they are already 

 possessed, as will appear from their catalogues. These duplicates I 

 give to my friend John Pickering, above named. As to bound pam- 

 phlets, if among them there should be any which they already have, 

 they may still keep the bound volumes for the sake of those which 

 they have not got, as it would not do to separate them. * * * J give 

 and bequeath, in addition to the other bequests to the American 

 Philosophical Society, held at Philadelphia for Promoting Useful 

 Knowledge, my Moniteur Universel, or Gazette Nationale, in twenty- 

 one volumes folio, being the History of the French Revolution and of 

 Europe, from 1789 to 1800, with an additional odd volume of a sub'- 

 sequent date, and the six volumes of Indexes to the same, entitled 

 Tables Chronologiques and Tables Alphabetiques, in quarto." 

 The will bears date Nov. 11, 1839.
