of such strangers, I
should be desirous of learning what ideas they have conceived of us.

The upholsterer finding my friend very inquisitive about these his
lodgers, brought him sometime since a little bundle of papers, which he
assured him were written by King Sa Ga Yean Qua Rash Tow, and, as he
supposes, left behind by some mistake. These papers are now translated,
and contain abundance of very odd observations, which I find this little
fraternity of kings made during their stay in the Isle of Great Britain.
I shall present my reader with a short specimen of them in this paper,
and may perhaps communicate more to him hereafter. In the article of
London are the following words, which without doubt are meant of the
church of St. Paul:--

"On the most rising part of the town there stands a huge house, big
enough to contain the whole nation of which I am the king. Our good
brother E Tow O Koam, King of the Rivers, is of opinion it was made by
the hands of that great God to whom it is consecrated. The Kings of
Granajar and of the Six Nations believe that it was created with the
earth, and produced on the same day with the sun and moon. But for my
own part, by the best information that I could get of this matter, I am
apt to think that this prodigious pile was fashioned into the shape it
now bears by several tools and instruments, of which they have a
wonderful variety in this country. It was probably at first a huge
misshapen rock that grew upon the top of the hill, which the natives of
the country, after having cut into a kind of regular figure, bored and
hollowed with incredible pains and industry, till they had wrought in it
all those beautiful vaults and caverns into which it is divided at this
day. As soon as this rock was thus curiously scooped to their liking, a
prodigious number of hands must have been employed in chipping the
outside of it, which is now as smooth as the surface of a pebble; and is
in several places hewn out into pillars that stand like the trunks of so
many trees bound about the top with garlands of leaves. It is probable
that when this great work was begun, which must have been many hundred
years ago, there was some religion among this people; for they give it
the name of a temple, and have a tradition that it was designed for men
to pay their devotion in. And indeed, there are several reasons which
make us think that the natives of this country had formerly among them
some sort of wo
