A Comparative TABLE of NUMERALS, exhibiting the Affinity and Extent of Language, which is found to prevail in all the Islands of the Eastern Sea, and derived from that spoken on the Continent of Asia, in the Country of the Malayes.

[N. B. The Malaye being considered as the root, three specimens of its

Numerals stand separate, at the top of the Table. The derivative

branches are ranged and numbered, according to the longitudinal

situation of the several places, proceeding from Madagascar, the most

Western boundary, Eastward to Easter Island. In the instances marked

with a Star, liberty has been taken to separate the Article from the

Numeral.]
