for the purpose of completing a map of the topography of Ossian. He has since published an edition of the poems of that bard, with geographical notes, illustrative of the scenery and other local proofs of the authenticity of the father of British poets.

Travelling in Greece. The benevolent exertions and hazards of the Monks of St. Bernard, who inhabit the higher regions of the Alps, are well known. A somewhat similar institution exists among the defiles of Mount Olympus. It is maintained by five villages, the inhabitants of which pay no kind of taxes, but are bound to give their assistance to all travellers who cross the mountains, and to serve them as guides. They discharge this honourable task with the greatest alacrity and good management, and, like the benevolent Monks of St. Bernard, employ the sagacity of dogs to discover travellers who may have been so unfortunate as to be buried beneath the snow.

Discoveries in Africa.-We understand that researches in Africa, of a very interesting nature, are about to be published by Mr. Waldech, a German, who has recently arrived in England from India, having previously travelled through Africa, from Egypt to the Cape of Good Hope. It appears, that at the foot of the Mountains of the Moon, he found an inscribed pillar, erected by a Roman consul, about the period of the reign of Vespasian. He found a level on the top of these mountains nearly 400 miles broad, on which he discovered a temple of the highest antiquity, and in fine preservation, and still used for religious purposes by the inhabitants. South of the level, he passed a descent of 52 days' journey, and, when advanced about nine days, he found the skeleton of a man, with a telescope slung on his shoulder, marked with the name of Harris; and also a chronometer, made by Marchant. There were also two other skeletons; and it was supposed the owners perished for want of water. Out of four European companions who accompanied Mr. Waldech, only one of them survived the hardships of the journey.
