e translation was faithful�察�and such as a  translation of the sacred volume ought to be�察�he of course was  entirely ignorant�察�he could merely speak as to the excellence of  the Persian。  Mirza Djaffar also�察�the Persian professor here�察�spoke  much to the same effect。

Mr。 Stallybrass�察�the Siberian missionary�察�is at present here on his  way to England�察�whither he is conducting his two sons�察�for the  purpose of placing them in some establishment�察�where they may  receive a better education than it is possible for him to give them  in Siberia。  I have seen him several times�察�and have heard him  preach once at the Sarepta House。  He is a clever�察�well´informed  man�察�and in countenance and manner much like Mr。 Swan ´ which  similarity may perhaps be accounted for by their long residence  under the same roof�察�for people who are in the habit of conversing  together every day insensibly assume each other's habits�察�manner of  speaking�察�and expression of countenance。  Mr。 Stallybrass's  youngest son�察�a lad of fifteen�察�shows marks of talent which may  make him useful in the missionary field for which he is intended。   The most surprising instance of precocious talent that I have ever  seen�察�or ever heard of�察�is exhibited in a young nobleman�察�who  visits me every day。  He is the eldest son of Count Fredro�察�Marshal  of the Imperial Court�察�and though only fourteen years of age�察 �speaks eight languages perfectly well�察�is a good Grecian and  Latinist�察�is one of the best draftsmen in Russia�察�is well  acquainted with physics�察�botany�察�geography�察�and history�察�and to  crown all�察�has probably the most beautiful voice that ever mortal  was gifted with。  A admirable CHRISHNA again by metempsychosis�察�the  religion of the family�察�with whom I am very intimate�察�is the  Romish。  I now and then attend the service of the Armenian Church�察 �for the purpose of perfecting myself in the language�察�and have  formed many acquaintances amongst the congregation�此 �there are  several very clever and very learned Armenians in this place�察�one  of them I will particularly mention�察�a little elderly gentleman of  the name of Kudobashoff�察�who is the best Armenian scholar at  present in existence。  He is on the eve of publishing a work�察 �calculated to be very interesting to us�此 �an Armenian and Russian  Dictionary�察�on which he has been occupied for the space of thirty´ seven years�察�and which will be of the highest assistance to any  future editor of the Armenian Scriptures�察�and be it known�察�that no  place in Europe�察�with perhaps the exception of Venice�察�offers more  advantages to the editing of the A。S。 than St。 Petersburg。

I will now conclude�察�and repeat the assurance that I am ready to  attempt anything which the Society may wish me to execute�察�and�察�at  a moment's warning�察�will direct my course towards Canton�察�Pekin�察�or  the court of the Grand Lama。  With my best respects to Mr。  Brandram�察�I have the honour to remain�察�Revd。 and dear Sir�察�most  truly yours��

I SEND you an account of monies spent in the editing of the Acts of  the Apostles and the first volume of the Epistles。  I beg leave at  the same time to acknowledge the receipt of Mr。 Jackson's letter。   I am sorry that any mistake should have occurred�察�but the cause of  the one in question was�察�that at the time I last wrote to you�察�I  was unable to refer to my previous account�察�however�察�the mistake  now stands rectified。

I take this opportunity of informing you that I shall be obliged to  order sixty or seventy more reams of paper�察�as the quantity which I  at present possess will not be sufficient to complete the work。   You will see the reason of this in the account which I now send  you。  In the first volume of the Epistles there are forty´three  sheets�察�and in the second there will be nearly the same number�察 �these two volumes in thickness will be equal to three of the  previous parts。  During the last month I have experienced great  difficulty in keeping the printers at work on account of the  festivals of the season�察�but I am glad to say that I have never  failed to obtain six sheets every week。

I have received the Revd。 Mr。 Jowett's letter�察�and shall write to  him in a few days。

LETTER�此�3rd May�察�1835



To the Rev。 J。 Jowett ��ENDORSED�此�recd。 June 1�察�1835�� MAY 3�察�1835 ��old style�В察�ST。 PETERSBURG。

REVD。 AND DEAR SIR�察 � I write a few hasty lines for the purpose of  informing you that I shall not be able to obtain a passport for  Siberia�察�except on the condition that I carry not one single  Mandchou Bible thither。  The Russian Government is too solicitous  to maintain a good understanding with that of China to encourage  any project at which the latter could take umbrage。  Therefore pray  inform me to what place I am to despatch the Bibles。  I have had  some thoughts of embarking the first five parts without delay to  England�察�but I have forborne from an unwillingness to do anything  which I was not commanded to do。  By the time I receive your answer  everything will be in readiness�察�or nearly so�察�to be forwarded  wherever the Committee shall judge expedient。  I wish also to  receive orders respecting what is to be done with the types。  I  should be sorry if they were to be abandoned in the same manner as  before�察�for it is possible that at some future time they may prove  eminently useful。

As for myself�察�I suppose I must return to England�察�as my task will  be speedily completed。  I hope the Society are convinced that I  have served them faithfully�察�and that I have spared no labour to  bring out the work�察�which they did me the honour of confiding to  me�察�correctly and within as short a time as possible。  At my  return�察�if the Society think that I can still prove of utility to  them�察�I shall be most happy to devote myself still to their  service。  I am a person full of faults and weaknesses�察�as I am  every day reminded by bitter experience�察�but I am certain that my  zeal and fidelity towards those who put confidence in me are not to  be shaken。  Should it now become a question what is to be done with  these Mandchou Bibles which have been printed at a considerable  expense�察�I should wish to suggest that Baron Schilling be  consulted。  In a few weeks he will be in London�察�which he intends  visiting during a summer tour which he is on the point of  commencing。  He will call at the Society's House�察�and as he is a  nobleman of great experience and knowledge in all that relates to  China�察�it would not be amiss to interrogate him on such a subject。   I AGAIN REPEAT THAT I AM AT COMMAND。

In your last letter but one you stated that our noble President had  been kind enough to declare that I had but to send in an account of  any extraordinary expenses which I had been put to in the course of  the work to have them defrayed。  I return my most grateful thanks  for this most considerate intimation�察�which nevertheless I cannot  avail myself of�察�as according to one of the articles of my  agreement my salary of 200 pounds was to cover all extra expenses。   Petersburg is doubtless the dearest capital in Europe�察�and expenses  meet an individual�察�especially one situated as I have been�察�at  every turn and corner�察�but an agreement is not to be broken on that  account。

I have the honour to remain�察�Revd。 and dear Sir�察�your obedient  humble servant��

SIRS�察 � Having drawn upon Messrs。 Asmus�察�Simondsen & Compy。 of St。  Petersburg for the following sums�察�I have to request that you will  honour this draft to a like amount��

1000 roubles ��one thousand���察�received the 11th May。

I take the liberty of stating that the printing of the Mandchou  Testament is brought to a conclusion�察�and that six of the eight  parts are bound。  As soon as the other two are completed I shall  take my departure for England。

To J。 Tarn�察�Esq。 ��ENDORSED�此�recd。 17 Aug。 1835�� ST。 PETERSBURG�察�JULY 16�察�1835。

MY DEAR SIR�察 � I herewith send you a bill of lading for six of the  eight parts of the New Testament which I have at last obtained  permission to send away�察�AFTER HAVING PAID SIXTEEN VISITS TO THE  HOUSE OF INTERIOR AFFAIRS。  The seventh part is bound and packed  up�察�the eighth is being bound and will be completed in about ten  days。  It would have been ready a month since�察�having been nearly  six weeks in the book´binder's hands�察�but he was disappointed in  obtaining the necessary paper�察�I hope to have shipped all off�察�and  to have bidden adieu to Russia�察�at the expiration of a fortnight。   I take this opportunity of informing you that I was obliged to  purchase additional 85 reams of paper�察�of every sheet of which I  shall give an account。 1020 copies of every sheet I ordered to be  printed�察�that we might have a full 1000 at the conclusion。  20  reams have at various times been sent to the binder for frontings  and endings to the work�察�and there were 36 sheets in the seventh  and 33 in the eighth part�察�consequently the demand for paper is not  surprising。  Since my last drafts upon the Treasurer I have  received two thousand roubles from Asmus�察�Simondsen and Co。�察�for  which I shall give them a draft on my departure when I receive my  salary。  My accompt since the period of my last writing to you�察 �when I held in hand 518 roubles of the Society's money�察�I shall  deliver to you on my arrival。

I have the honour to remain�察�Dear Sir��

Truly yours��
