* Since the publication of the work now under consideration, that distin guished scholar, baron William von Humboldt, has published a profoundly learned work relating to the Basque language, entitled, An examination of the Researches respecting the original Inhabitants of Spain; by means of the Basque language; printed at Berlin during the present year. We have but just received this important work, and notice it now, merely for the purpose of apprising our readers, that it contains an interesting section' On the supposed affinity of the Basque with the American languages.' We hope soon to be able to give an account of the work. REV.

+ This has sometimes been called the Teutonic stock, and in English we are in want of a distinct generic name for it. Our English names, German and Dutch, are too limited for this purpose. REV.

Under the North American divisions, which are above designated by the letters B and C (territories east and west of the Mississippi), the author enumerates many names which are familiar to us; but he also mentions a great number, of which we have seldom or never heard. As this region of the continent is the most interesting to an American reader, we have thought it might be useful to give the whole list in detail; in order that any omissions and errors (if any such exist) may be supplied and corrected by our countrymen. This extract will at the same time give the reader an idea of the extraordinary minuteness of the whole work.
