This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: highest state of perfection. Cashmere is a region of fruitful hills, countless fountains and streams, which unite in the River Behut, that, like the Pison of Paradise, " compasseth" the whole land. The men of this country are distinguished among the nations by superior natural endowments, mental and physical. The contiguous region of Thibet also presents in a native state the various plants and animals which have been domesticated by man. Here are found for their use in the wild state, the vine, the rice-plant, the pea, the ox, the horse, the ass, the sheep, the goat, the camel, the pig, the cat, and even the reindeer, " his only friend and companion in the polar wastes." 3. The ancient Indian accounts, which are corroborated by the Scriptural narrative. The Indian accounts, equal in antiquity, it is believed, to the scriptural narrative, actually fix the first abode of man on Mount Meru, on the borders of Thibet and Cashmere. Now from Mount Meru spring four rivers, the Ganges, the Burampoota, the Indus, and another stream which flows into Thibet. Now Michaelis, Adelung observes, translates Genesis, ii, 10, " Four rivers flowed out of Eden, and they separated continually more and more widely from each other." 4. In these regions is the line which separates from other Asiatic races the nations who exhibit the Mongnl or Tartar physiognomy. 5. The same line separates the monosyllabic languages and the polysyllabic languages. The former begin in Thibet, the latter in Cashmere. 6. The astronomical reasonings of Bailly. The theory of this astronomer is, that the various nations of the ancient world were descendants of emigrants from a primeval community superior to them in knowledge, and of which he places the locality in Central Asia.
