Myriadas

and in Johnson's verses are alike.-We find, accordingly, the Morea, in Templeman, to be set down at 7,220 square miles— Arabia, at 700,000-Persia, at 800,000-and Naples, at 22,000.

5 Sicily, in Templeman, is put down at 9,400.

The Pope's dominions, at 14,868.

Tuscany, at 6,640.

$ Genoa, in Templeman, as in Johnson likewise, is set down at

2,400.

9 Lucca, at 286.

10 The Russian empire, in the 29th plate of Templeman, is set down at 3,303,485 square miles.

"Sardinia, in Templeman, as likewise in Johnson, 6,600.

1 The habitable world, in Templeman, is computed, in square miles, at 30,666,806 square miles.

Myriadas denas dat, quinque et millia, sexque
Centurias, et tres decadas Europa Britannis ".
Ter tria myriadi conjungit millia quarte,

Quingentis quadragenis socialis adauget

Ter sex centurias Hollandia" jactat opima
Undecimum Camber 19 vult septem millibus addi.

16 The British dominions, at 105,634.

17 England, as likewise in Johnson's expression of the number, at 49,450.

18 Ireland, at 27,457.

19 In the three remaining instances, which make the whole that Dr. Johnson appears to have rendered into Latin verse, we find the numbers exactly agreeing with those of Templeman; who makes the square miles of the United Provinces, 9,540—of the province of Holland, 1,800-and of Wales, 7,011.
