I am so sorry to hear from Pertz that you have been suffering from headache. I hope you are quite well and brisk again. [47.] CARLTON TERRACE, _Saturday Morning, October 22, 1853_, 10 o’clock. All right, my dear friend. I have already sent everything off to the printer. It is certainly better so. Where practicable you should have _two_ chapters instead of _one_. Ffoulkes’ book shall be taken care of, either on the 1st or 15th. The same with the “Bampton Lectures,” if it is wished. I shall receive Mr. Thomson _summo cum honore_. But now, my dear friend, where does the great Turanian essay hide itself? Pray let me soon receive something, not later than Monday or Tuesday; send it as a parcel by parcels’ delivery, or, which is the cheapest and quickest, by book-post, which takes MS. (not letters) as well as printed matter, and forwards both for 6_d._ the lb. I have sent my most difficult task to the printers, “Origin of the Three Gospels as part of the Second Age, 66-100.” I am longing for the promised addenda from Aufrecht on the Haruspex. The printing is stopped for it, also for the answer about a hieroglyphic which is unintelligible in London, instead of the honest _amâ_==mother, which is not good enough for him. [48.] CARLTON TERRACE, _Monday Evening, October 24, 1853._ “It has lightened—on the Danube!” It is of too much importance to me to have my dear Turanian’s thoughts according to his own best way and form, for me not to be ready to wait till the end of November. The entire work, in seven volumes, must come out together, and I can keep back till then the first part of the “Philosophy,” which is entirely printed in slips up to your chapter, and go on with the second. Just look once at that book by the Scotch missionary, “The Karens, or Memoir of Ko-tha-bya,” by Kincaid, on the Karens in Pegu. He maintains the unity of the Karens and Kakhyans, another form of the same, and of all the scattered branches of the same race, starting from Thibet (five millions altogether) as the remnant of a once very powerful people. To judge from the representations the race must be _very handsome_. Frau von Helfer told me the same, and she knows them. There are extracts given in the “Church Missionary Intelligence,” October, 1853. Prichard says little about it, and has no specimens of the language. I have not got Latham at hand. Haruspex is printing; it waits for the conclusion. I have received Thomson’s “Bampton Lectures.” Where does _rife_ come from—Anglo-Saxon _ryfe_? It means prevalent, abundant.
