which is at present almost universally studied as a dead language, and that by a most laborious and tedious process of grammatical indoctrination, may be more readily picked up, like German or French, in the course of the living practice of a few months.

But this is a philological matter on which we have no vocation to enter here: we only drop a hint for the wise, who are able to inquire and to conclude for themselves. We now proceed to business. There are five points connected with the late Greek Revolution which stand out with a prominent interest at the present moment. _First_,—The character, conduct, and position of RUSSIA at the outbreak of the Revolution. _Second_,—The character and conduct of the TURKS and the Turkish government, as displayed by the manner in which the revolt was met. _Third_,—The character, conduct, and political significance of the GREEK PEOPLE, as exhibited during the five years’ struggle. _Fourth_,—The character, conduct, and position of RUSSIA, as more fully developed at the conclusion of the struggle. _Fifth_,—The character, conduct, and political significance of the GREEK PEOPLE, as exhibited since the battle of Navarino and the establishment of the existing Bavarian dynasty. On all these points we shall offer a few remarks in the order in which they are set down.
