made fuch progrefs in his ftudies, that he was foon ap¬ 
pointed teacher of logic and metaphyfics at Tymau, and 
afterwards profefior in the univerfity of Vienna. He was 
next teacher of the mathematics, natural philofophy, and 
mechanics, in the Therefianum, where he procured, by 
his amiable dilpofition, the love and efleem of all the young 
nobility who frequented that feminary from almoft every 
part of Europe ; and, when the Hungarian high fchool of 
Tymau was afterwards transferred to Ofen, the emprefs 
Maria Therefa appointed him a member of the academic 
fenate. He exerted himfelf with great zeal to introduce 
a tafte for (cientific purfuits into Hungary; and during 
his moments of leifure, he amufed himfelf with poetry, of 
which he gave no unfavourable fpecimens in his Carmi- 
nuin Libri III. Terini, 1761 ; and his Elegiacon, Budae,

bique, and described as extending from Melinda north¬ 
wards as far to the fouth as the river Zambezi, and almoft 
communicating, by fcattered hordes, with the Caffers in 
the neighbourhood of the Cape. Mr. Barrow mentions 
them as a tribe of Caffers, and fays that the name is de¬ 
rived from the Arabic language, (ignifying “ workers in 
iron ;” but in this, Mr. Salt obferves, he is furely mif- 
taken ; firft, becaufe the Makooa are negroes, which the 
Caffers are not; and fecondly, becaufe there is no fuch 
word in the Arabic bearing the fignification imputed to 
it. Still he adds, Mr. Barrow’s notice of the name is fa- 
3 tisfa&ory.
