tilied, with the ftricteft Kaa and propricty,

be regretted by al) to whork his worth was 
known. 
In the Univerfity of Jena, on the Sth of 
O@ober, aged 80, Profeflor Buttner, of 
great celebrity for the vaft extent of his 
knowlecge in languages. He had made dic- 
tionaries of almoft all the antient and modern 
languages, the origin of which can be traced. 
When Catherine I!, Emprefs of Ruffia,, pub- 
lifhed the famous Glofiary of all the lan- 
guages which are fpoken throughout her vaft 
empire, he found much to cenfure in it, and 
added a number of roots of Afiatic 1 nguages, 
which had efcaped the refearches of the Ruf- 
fian Voyagers, Unfortunately, he employed 
more care in collecting, than in digefting and 
publifhing, his tveafates, He had been pre- 
paring, for a long time, a Prodromus Linguarum, 
which he did not live to complete, and which 
will, perhaps, be publifhed by Profeffor Ri- 
diger, at Hall. All that we have of M. 
Buttner, confifts in a fmall feries of compa- 
rative tablets of languages, publithed at Got- 
tingen, where he was Profeffor, before he 
changed his place of refidence. Thefe ta- 
blets, however, are not complete, as they 
want the final part. His library had been 
perchafed by the Duke of Weimar, in con- 
fideration_of a moderate annual penfion, of 
which he did not fpend above a third. The 
refidue was expended in enriching that library, 
which contains invaluable treafures in natural 
hifory, voyagesand materials for the langua- 
ges. The Profefor was a perfect folitaire, living 
éniy with a couple of dogs; he fpent his 
time in fmoaking, in drinking coffee, and 
in compiling extracts for his great Dictionary. 
He lived likewife in a ftate of celibacy; yet he 
loved the company of all who'feit interefted 
in his plan of ftudies, and in communica- 
ting his ideas on the earth and its inhabitants 5 
ideas often very luminous, and worthy to bé 
¢olleéted and appreciated by the learned. 
At Calcutta, whither he went for the.re- 
covery of his health, G. Parry, efq. of the 
Madras Civil Eftablifhment. He was eldeft
