Now for as to the means which he looks to for the fulfilment
of the undertaking engagement thus entered into.
Of the information which he communicates by much the
greater part must first have been recuzed by him: minute in
comparison must be that which originates in himself. Whatsoever
he thus recuzes will have its had its sources and its channels:
these two objects will to a considerable extent these two
objects may be seen running one into another: but still to a
considerable extent they may be seen to be distinct,
in particular. So many channels through which the entire nation will have to be recuzed.
So many always productive in general, and so many periodical.
In the front of those his list of his qualifications
for the task he takes upon himself he places the language having
it have fallen in his way to acquire. The following are the languages
with which he has such an acquaintance as will enable
him to number among the channels of the information received by him his channels the periodicals in general,
the Newspapers in particular which are published in the several countries

☞ Bowring will correct this list and put the items in the best order.
Among the channels through which he draws his information
will be Newspapers printed in all the above languages: but
of the information with which he will furnish himself all the list of
those languages does not yet exhibit in all its varieties.
By means the one language the English will he will be supplied with it
