Excerpt from The Annual Report of the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society: Addressed to the General Meeting, Held at Great Queen Street Chapel, on Thursday, June 20th, 1822; Being a Continuation of the Periodical Accounts Relative to the Said Society It was mentioned in the last Report, that Messrs. Yates and Pearce had undertakena Missionary tour, of consider able extent, up the country. By a journal of this excursion which has since been received, we learn that, among other places, they visited the city of N uddea, the great seat of native literature in Bengal. With a view to communicate their mes sage to the learned men residing there in the most agreeable form, they had prepared tracts in the Sungskrit language, and the result was highly gratifying. A number of these publications, which, in any other shape, would probably have been rejected with contempt, were received with great readiness, and thus, as our brethren expgress it, the gospel was introduced into the only university of Bengal by means of publications in the Latin of the East.
