See Appleton's Amer. Cyc., xvi. 448.

"This is a promising title; but we are compelled to say, after a diligent examination of the contents of the volumes, that they have little of novelty."-Lon. Athen., 1848, 503.

"Williams's 'Middle Kingdom' remains unrivalled as the most full and accurate account of China-its inhabitants, its art, its science, its religion, its philosophy-that has ever been given to the public. Its minuteness and thoroughness are beyond all praise."-Ibid.: N. Amer. Rev., April, 1862, 480. See, also, MILNE, REV. WILLIAM C.

Next to Williams's volumes should stand the following later works upon the same subject: I. Social Life of the Chinese; with Some Account of their Religious, Governmental, Educational, and Business Customs and Opinions, with Special, but not Exclusive, Reference to Fuchau; by Rev. Justus Doolittle, Fourteen Years Member of the Fuchau Mission of the American Board, with over 150 Illustrations, N. York, 1865, 2 vols. 12mo. II. China and the Chinese: a General Description of the Country and its Inhabitants; its Civilization and Forms of Government; its Religious and Social Institutions; its Intercourse with other Nations; and its Present Condition and Prospects; by the Rev. John L. Nevius, Ten Years a Missionary in China; with a Map and Illustrations, 1869, 12mo. III. The Oldest and the Newest Empire: China and the United States; by William Speer, D.D., Hartford, 1870, 8vo. The author, a Philadelphian, formerly Missionary in China, and to the Chinese in California, is now Corresponding Secretary to the Presbyterian Board of Education.

"In the years 1840 to 42 the Opium War strongly drew Mr. Speer's attention toward China, where was presented the strange spectacle of a heathen, but civilized, nation suffering the bombardment and destruction of numerous cities, and the slaughter of thousands of its people, in its natural and righteous, but vain, resistance to the fraudulent introduction among them of what is justly styled a flood of poison, the track of which in society was black and desolate as that of a stream of lava down a mountain's side.' In 1846 he was sent by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions to the province of Canton, and in 1852 to California, where he was the first to preach the gospel in their own language to the Chinese coming there."

The conduct of the Government of Great Britain in forcing opium upon the Chinese, and the murder and robbery connected with this disgraceful business, are not calculated to very warmly recommend Christianity to the Chinese; and now, (1870,) when reflection and shame should have done their work, we find members of the British House of Commons, instead of "repenting in sackcloth and ashes" over the national disgrace, apologizing for this abominable traffic,-abhorred of God and all good men.

Much doubt having been thrown on the discovery of the "Coelbren y Beirdd," or Alphabet of the Bards, announced by Iolo Morganwg, an essay on its genuineness was proposed as the subject of a prize at an Eisteddvod in 1840.

"The dissertation is pronounced by impartial critics, Dr. Williams of Llangadwaladr, and Dr. Tregelles, to be a masterpiece, and the author is said to have shown satisfactorily that there were traces of the alphabet in Welsh literature long before his father's time."-THOMAS WATTS: Welsh Language and Literature, in Knight's Eng.

"The notes of Mr. Cox to the fourth edition of these Reports gave to that edition the character of being the best-edited book on the law. Even before his learning and industry had given new character and value to the Reports of Peere Williams, they were regarded as one of the most perspicuons, useful, and interesting repositories of equity law to be found in the language." 1 Kent, Com., 493:

Lord Kenyon (1 Townsend's Twelve Judges, 122) and Mr. Dunning (3 Law and Magis. Mag., 175, 177) recommend Cox's Peere Williams as part of a conrse of professional reading for young men. We venture to add-with an apology for offering the opinion of a laic in such juxtaposition-that intelligent "young men" of all classes can seldom find more instructive and entertaining reading than is contained between the covers of the standard English and American Reports.

Williams, William R., D.D., son of the Rev. John Williams, late pastor of the Oliver Street (New York) Baptist Church, (supra,) was b. in the city of New York, Oct. 4, 1804; graduated with the highest honours of his class at Columbia College, 1822; studied law with Peter Jay, and spent one year in its practice in the same office; entered the ministry, 1831, and in the same year became pastor of the Amity Street (New York) Baptist Church, which post he has ever since retained, (August, 1870.) He has paid three visits to Europe.

In July, 1865, The Hudson River Baptist Association preferred a request to Dr. Williams to "undertake the preparation of expository notes on the New Testament for use in the Family, Sunday-School, and Church;" and in June, 1870, it was announced that Harper & Brothers would "shortly publish a History of the Baptists, by Rev. W. R. Williams, D.D."

Williams, Zachariah, father of Anna Williams, (supra,) a physician of North Wales, under the impression that he "had been fortunate enough to ascertain the Longitude by magnetism, and that the variations of the needle were equal at equal distances East and West," about 1730 visited London to reap the benefits of his supposed discovery; was disappointed in his hopes, and became an inmate of the Charter-House, from which a dispute with the Masters (detailed by him in No. 1, infra) obliged him to remove; spent the rest of his life in poverty, and d. in London, 1755.
