priest of the Budhists in Ceylon wrote to the monarch of Siam to solicit gifts, and informed his majesty, that unless he came forward liberally to support the cause of their common religion, it would soon be banished from the island by the efforts of Europeans to impress their own systems upon the minds of the people. This is a triumph of no common order, and it will afford a vantage-ground for the combat to those missionaries who are living in other countries where Budhism is professed. The ancient Romans said of their city, "While stands the Coliseum Rome shall stand, When falls the Coliseum Rome shall fall, And the Budhists of other lands have a similar supposition relative to the Budhism of Ceylon. They imagine that the isle of Lanká is sacred ground, from its being the spot in which the bana was first committed to writing; and that whilst their system flourishes there, it will flourish every where; but that when it falls there, it will fall throughout the world. The ancient fabric already totters; it will soon be swept from its base by the power that alone is resistless; and in its stead will be erected the temple of the Lord, in which all the earth will worship the Father Everlasting. 271 17, for the paths read nirwána. 272 note, for Pújáwaluja read Pújáwaliya, and dele pre at the end of the line. 276 line 33, for sachi read sacha. 304 33, for sages read sage. 308 21, for arúpa read rúpa. 326 19, for couch read conch, and for or read of. 357 31, for affected read effected.
