_Armenian Language._--This copious and widely-circulated language is

known to but few in this country. If this meets the eye of one who is

acquainted with it, will he kindly direct me whither I may find notices

of it and its literature? Father Aucher's _Grammar, Armenian and

English_ (Venice, 1819), is rather meagre in its details. I have heard

it stated, I know not on what authority, that Lord Byron composed the

English part of this grammar. This grammar contains the two Apocryphal

Epistles found in the Armenian Bible, of the Corinthians to St. Paul,

and St. Paul to the Corinthians. Like the Greek and German, "the

different modes of producing compound epithets and words are the

treasure and ornament of the Armenian language; a thousand varieties of

compounded words may be made in this tongue," p. 10. I believe we have

no other grammar of this language in English.
