Excerpt from The Analectic Magazine, Vol. 6: Containing Selections From Foreign Reviews and Magazines, Together With Original Miscellaneous Compositions, and a Naval Chronicle The Abbe Raynal has one of his charcteristic rhapsodies upon Anjengo, as being the birth-place of Eliza Draper, a woman whose name will be preserved in his writings and in Sterne's; for with all the falsetto and the faults of both, they will be found floating up on the stream of time. Mr. Forbes knew this celebrated woman, and mentions her with admiration. Anjengo was also the birth place of Orme the historian. Most of the inhabitants were of the Romish church, being either of Portuguese descent, or converts from the lower casts. Such converts are found wherever the Por tuguese were settled, and this single fact is conclusive against the impudent arguments of those who assert that it is not possible to convert the Hindoos. The purity of the faith of these converts, or of their morals, is of no importance to the question; they have changed one profession of faith for another; and if we, who are blessed with a purer faith, and enjoy a reformed church, the best constituted that the world has ever yet seen, had served our God with half the zeal that the Portugueze have served theirs, the tree of life would long ere this have struck deep roots in Hindostan, and spread wide branches and brought forth fruit.
