Printing in Palestine.—It is well known, the Archbishop of Jerusalem has been some time in England, soliciting subscriptions to establish a Printing-house on mount Libanus, between Syria and Palestine, for the diffusion of the Christian Scriptures in the Syriac language. He has, we learn, been eminently successful, having been patronized by Lord Teignmouth, Mr. Wilberforce, and many of the British clergy: though on his arrival it was reported that he was an impostor. He has visited the great universities in England, where he was strictly examined in all the Eastern languages, and Mr. Lee, Professor of Arabic, has certified to his astonishing acquaintance with the Oriental literature preserved in the Bodleian library. Mr. Clymer, the American mechanic, has presented the Archbishop with one of his patent Printing Presses: and he has received presents of several founts of types.—Bost. Cent.
