nineteen years of age at the time of his father's deceafe, had fucceeded him. That his territory confifted of two Purgunnahs from the Cummun Żemeendary, viz. Paloonfhah, and Sunkergherry. He is a Munfubdar of the Empire, and holds the country as a Jagheer, on confideration of his maintaining a certain body of troops for the fervice of his fovereign. When the Nizam's government was effective in Paloonfhah, all the roads were much frequented; but fince the Rajah had been refractory, the roads were fhut up; and feveral horfe merchants who had attempted to pafs through the country, of late years, had been either robbed of their horfes, or the Rajah had taken them for much less than their real value. The only travellers who frequented this road at prefent, were the Brinjaries; and they were only permitted to pass on condition of paying certain duties; but even this the Rajah would not have allowed, but from an apprehenfion that the Mahrattas might encourage the wild Goands, who live in the hills on the north fide of the Godavery, to plunder his country; as indeed they had formerly done; when the rapine and murder committed by them, had fo much diftreffed the Tillinghy inhabitants, that they stood in the greatest dread of those favages ever fince.

FROM thefe unfavorable accounts of the Paloonshah Rajah, I had little reafon to expect that I fhould get through his country without trouble; which induced me to direct my attention seriously to the Goand hills and jungles, with a view to difcover, if poffible, fome track through them into the Company's territory near the fea coaft.

APRIL 26th. AFTER fkirting along the east fide of the Seerpour Purgunnah, I arrived near the town of Beejoor, within four cofs of the hills and jungles that are inhabited only by the Goands. My information concerning the Nizam's country being at this place

of perfect Induction, which produces certainty.

It is imperfect induction when a number of individuals of a class being overlooked or excluded, a general rule is thus established respecting the whole. For instance, if it should be assumed that all animals move the under jaw in eating, because this is the case with man, horse, goats, and sheep, this would be an example of imperfect induction, which does not afford certainty: because it is possible that some animals may not move the under jaw in eating, as it is reported of the Tumsukh or Nehung, the cro

codile.

Having considered the first two modes of reasoning, there still remains to be explained Analogy.

SECT. IV. OF ANALOGY..

ANALOGY is the unfolding of an affinity or resemblance between two subordinate parts of the same class, differing in their nature and properties, so as to establish a general law and axiom respecting both; take, for example, the general rule, that " grapes are prohibited because wine is," which conclusion is obtained thus. The cause of the prohibition of wine is intoxication; but intoxication exists also in the grape; therefore it is proved that the grape likewise is prohibited. The instruments of this process are analysis and selection, &c. &c.,

Brinjaries, who, for a handsome gratuity, might be induced to affift us, and poffibly to conduct me through the Buftar territory; in which cafe I fhould be totally independant of the Goands; not conceiving that they would ever oppofe me in open force.

APRIL 27th. WITH this plan in view, I entered upon INKUT Row's territory, and, after croffing the Baungunga river, encamped near the village of Dewilmurry, which is fituated on its eaftern bank. This was the most confiderable Goand hamlet I had seen, and might confist of about fifty huts. An extensive fpot of ground was cleared and cultivated around it; and beyond the village fome lofty ranges of hills appeared to rife. The river is here a confiderable ftream, being augmented by the junction of the Wurda and Wainy Gunga, about three cofs to the north-weftward of this place.

THE ufual refidence of INKUT Row is at Arpilly, about ten cofs diftant from Dewilmurry, in a N. E. direction among the hills. He is a furdar of five hundred horfe in the Mahratta fervice, and was at this time, absent in command of an expedition against the diftricts of Edilabad and Neermul, belonging to the Nizam: Thefe are feparated from Chanda only by a range of hills; the paffes through which had been already fecured, to prevent fupplies of grain being carried into the enemy's country.

THE Goands had been fo much alarmed on our approach, that they all fled out of the village; excepting two or three men who had been converted to the Mahommedan faith; and who no fooner perceived that we were travellers, than their fears fubfided, and, after faluting us with the falam aleicum, they returned to take peaceable poffeffion of their dwellings.

SECT. V. SYLLOGISM DIVIDED ACCORDING TO THEIR MATter.

LET it be observed, that as syllogisms have been divided according to their figure or form into absolute and conditional, so are they likewise distinguished according to their matter or constituent parts, into five different classes, viz. the demonstrative, the casuistical, the rhetorical, the poetical, the sophistical.

I. The demonstrative are composed of truths, that is to say, perceptions, the different species of which are six.

1. Intuitive or self-evident truths; to obtain which the bare inspection of the subject and predicate, and the relation in which they stand to each other is sufficient: for example, "a whole is larger than a part."

2. Evidences, obtained by means of sensation which are called Hissiaut if they be external, such as "the sun shines, the fire burns; and Judinaut, if they be internal; as, for example, "hunger and thirst."

3. Experiences, which are the conclusions formed by the understanding from repeated trials; as, for example," that Scammony is a Cathartic." 4. Traditions, which are the conclusions which the understanding forms from the reports of a number of people; and which cannot be supposed to be false, such as the mission of the prophet MAHOмMED, and JESUS CHRIST.

This

certainly defert their habitations; by which our hopes of getting a guide would be fruftrated: That, to prevent this, he would go on in front, with only one man, meanly clad, while the reft of the party fhould remain -a little behind. With this fcheme in view, the Brinjary proceeded; but had scarcely gone a hundred yards from a little hill clofe on our left, when he perceived a confiderable body of men lying in a nulla, which run clofe under the end of the hill; and, upon our advancing, a difcharge of about thirty or forty matchlocks, and many arrows, was fired upon us. made us halt; and having only two fepoys with me at the time, three or four fervants, and the lafcar with my perambulator, I refolved to fall back to my party. Upon our retiring, the Goands advanced rapidly from the nulla and jungle; and a party of them made their appearance on the top of the hill. At this inftant, fortunately, I was joined by a naick and four fepoys of my advance, and immediately formed them, priming and loading in a little space of open ground on our right. As foon as the fepoys had loaded, I would fain have parleyed with the favages before firing; but all my endeavours towards it were ineffectual; and as they continued to rufh with impetuofity towards us, with their matches lighted, and arrows fixed in their bows, they received the fire of my party at the dif tance of about twenty yards; when four or five of them inftantly dropped. This gave them an immediate check, and they ran off, hallooing and fhouting, into the woods; carrying off their killed and wounded, all but one body; and leaving fome of their arms, which fell into our poffeffion. The reft of my people having by this time joined me, I directed a party of a naick and four fepoys to drive them from the hill: this they foon effected; after which, difpofing of the small force I had with me, in fuch a manner as it might act to moft advantage if again attacked, we moved forward, with the hope of reaching Bhopaulputtun that night.
