_Catholic Bible Society_ (Vol. ix., p. 41.).--Besides the account of this society in Bishop Milner's _Supplementary Memoirs of the English Catholics_, many papers on the same will be found in the volumes of the _Orthodox Journal_ from 1813, when the Society was formed, to 1819. In this last volume, p. 9., Bishop Milner wrote a long letter, containing a comparison of the brief notes in the stereotyped edition of the above Society with the notes of Bishop Challoner, from whose hands he mentions having received a copy of his latest edition of both Testaments in 1777. It should be mentioned that most of the papers in the _Orthodox Journal_ alluded to were written by Bishop Milner under various signatures, which the present writer, with all who knew him well, could always recognise. That eminent prelate thus sums up the fate of the sole publication of the so-called Catholic Bible Society: "Its stereotype Testament ... was proved to abound in gross errors; hardly a copy of it could be sold; and, in the end, the plates for continuing it have been of late presented by an illustrious personage, into whose hands they fell, to one of our prelates [this was Bishop Collingridge], who will immediately employ the cart-load of them for a good purpose, as they were intended to be, by disposing of them to some pewterer, who will convert them into numerous useful culinary implements, gas-pipes, and other pipes." F. C. H. _Cassiterides_ (Vol. ix., p. 64.).--Kassiteros; the ancient Indian Sanscrit word _Kastira_. Of the disputed passage in Herodotus respecting the Cassiterides, the interpretation[7] of Rennell, in his _Geographical System of Herodotus_; of Maurice, in his _Indian Antiquities_, vol. vi.; and of Heeren, in his _Historical Researches_; is much more satisfactory than that offered by your correspondent S. G. C., although supported by the French academicians (_Inscript._ xxxvi. 66.) The advocates for a Celtic origin of the name of these islands are perhaps not aware that-- "Through the intercourse which the Phoenicians, by means of their factories in the Persian Gulph, maintained with the east coast of India, the Sanscrit word _Kastira_, expressing a most useful product of farther India, and still existing among the old Aramaic idioms in the Arabian word _Kasdir_, became known to the Greeks even before Albion and the British Cassiterides had been visited."--See Humboldt's _Cosmos_, "Principal Epochs in the History of the Physical Contemplation of the Universe," notes.

[Footnote 7: His want of information in this matter can only be referred to the jealousy of the Phoenicians depriving the Greeks, as afterwards the Romans, of ocular observation.]
