them. As therefore these caissons were removed up from one row of bricks, or smooth stones, to another superior row, in constant repetition, according as the wall advanced in height, and were placed successively upon every row; these substantial rows of bricks regularly placed might very well be called Θεμελιοι oι Θεμελια, foundations, because indeed such they really were the whole way up to those identical building frames." This article is inserted, because it contains a more particular account of the subject than was given in No. 600. END OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. NOTE ΤΟ NO. 5, VOL. 1. PAGE 8. In the Memoirs of Sir William Jones, lately published by Lord Teignmouth, a circumstance has been disclosed which defeats the object of this article, a corroboration of the Mosaic history by distant tradition. It appears that the extract from the Padma-puran was a forgery of one of the Hindûs. Lord Teignmouth gives the following account of it. "I cannot conclude the preface without mentioning some information which materially affects an important passage in the 367th page of the Memoirs, which I received from Bengal, long after it had been printed. The passage alluded to is stated to be an exact translation from one of the mythological works of the Hindûs: it first appeared in a note annexed by Sir William Jones to an Essay on Egypt and the Nile, in the third volume of the Asiatic Researches, by Lieutenant now Captain Wilford, and relates to Noah (under the designation of Satyavrata) and his three sons. Captain Wilford has since had the mortification and regret to discover that he was imposed upon by a learned Hindû, who assisted his investigations; that the Purana, in which he actually and carefully read the passage which he communicated to Sir William Jones, as an extract from it, does not contain it, and that it was interpolated by the dexterous introduction of a forged sheet, discoloured, and prepared for the purpose of deception, and which having served this purpose was afterwards withdrawn." Preface, p. 12. Upon discovering the fraud I fully resolved to cancel the article, but further consideration deter mined me to let it retain its place, for the sake of avoiding confusion in the general arrangement of the work, apprizing the reader of the true state of the case..
