With all that, the gentleman who had arranged _en maestro_ this exhibition, did completely ignore the existence of _Panslavic_ literature, viz. that of a race of sixty millions of people! It is the perusal of the _Short Guide_ which will satisfy any one of the exactness of the assertions, that _not one single_ Russian, Polish, Czechian or Serbian book or fly-leaf was in the whole collection: an anomaly, the explaining of which is beyond my reach. Still, Panslavia occupies a conspicuous place even in the history of typography and literature, although our later periods have been dimmed by the intrusion of foreign or despotic princes. It was so early as the year 1512, that a Slavonic translation of the Bible was begun. Ivan IV. established the first printing-press in 1564 at Moscow; and in 1659 the learned Patriarch Nikon published a revision of both the Old and New Testaments. Without entering here into an investigation on the first Slavian typographers, both Czechia and Poland were foremost in introducing this important discovery; and even our southernmost city, the Republic of Ragusa, printed Slavian works. Of all this the typographical exhibition of the British Museum contained no trace. What the Library may possess or not possess, is now more difficult to ascertain than ever, as the different sets of Catalogues amount to a couple of hundred volumes. In fact, I know that there exist in the Library the _Acta Fratrum Polonorum_ (the disciples of Socinus), a work unknown even to Lellewel but I am not aware how to find it without a great loss of time.[4] Unfortunately also, the Catalogues are encumbered by a host of exploded German works, which, remaining on the hands of the Leipzig publishers, are mostly sold as waste paper. The works of the greatest Slavian literati are wanting; for instance, Palacky's _History of Czechia_ (in German), published by order and at the expense of the house of representatives at Prague, of which a _second_ edition (reprint) has already appeared so far back as 1844.

Without designing to take part in the question at issue regarding archbishop Ussher, I may be permitted to record the evidence of one of the earliest and best-informed witnesses on it--Nicholas Bernard, doctor of divinity, and preacher to the honourable society of _Grayes-Inne_, London.
