Shewing the UNCHANGED ORDER of the Days and the true Position of the SABBATH, as proved by the combined 
testimony of Ancient and Modern Languages. 
WILLIAM MEAD JONES, D.D. 
ABBREVIATIONS.-For "r.I.," read the foreign types from right to left ; for "t.b.," read from top to bottom; read all others from left to right. The letter "d." means that the language is dead. The various terms showing the place of the Sabbath, such as " purification-day," 
" bath-day," " Seventh-day," " end-day," &c., as well as " Sabbath," are indicated by figures in the extreme right-hand column. Literal translations are given and not equivalents, e.g., " as-sabt, the Sabbath," and not Saturday. 
PRONUNCIATION.-In reading the transliterations care should be taken to pronounce as nearly as possible after the following examples (long) as in father; a (short) as in ab ; e (long) as a in say ; e" (short) as in eh and met ; I (long) as in machine (never as i in pine); i or i (short) 
as in pin; 6 (long) as in tone; 6 (short) as in broke ; a (long) as oo in boom, YOOln, and moon ; u (short) is merely a shortened form of the same sound ; ai as eye. Circumflex and acute accents lengthen vowels. All deviations from this system are adopted from authors.

The Mongolian Alphabet is the Manchu-

(Manchu and Chinese Characters.) 
Fac-simile of Manchu writing (full size) 
by a native of Manchuria. Sent from 
Peking in 1886. The Manchu alpha- 
bet is the same as the Mongolian with 
a few alterations. 
• 
adopting the Arabian charad ers. It is de- 
rived from the Syriac Alphabet which was 
carried into Tartary by the Nestorian Mis - 
sionaries in the 3rd century. " They filled 
Tartary and even China with their adive 
propaganda." It is said that Syriac (Ara- 
maen) was originally written from top to 
'bottom instead of horizontally as now. 
The Manchu and Mongol perpendicular 
 proceed from left to right ; the Chinese 
from right to left.

The Boutanese held the seven planets

many names given to each planet. The 
septenary cycle also; hence the improb-

reckoning of the days of the week.

ABBREVIATIONS.-For "r.I.," read the foreign types from right to left ; for " t.b.," read from top to bottom ; read all others from left to right. The letter "d." means that the language is dead. The various terms showing the place of the Sabbath, such as " purification-day," 
" bath-day," " Seventh-day," " end-day," &c., as well as " Sabbath," are indicated by figures in the extreme right-hand column. Literal translations are given and not equivalents, e.g., " as-sabt, the Sabbath," and not Saturday. 
PRONUNCIATION.-In reading the transliterations care should be taken to pronounce as nearly as possible after the following examples :-d (long) as in father ; u (short) as in ab; e (long) as a in say ; e (short) as in eh and met ; 1 (long) as in machine (never as i in pine); i or i (short) 
as in pin o (long) as in tone; 6 (short) as in broke; u (long) as oo in boom, room, and moon; it (short) is merely a shortened form of the same sound ; ai as eye. Circumflex and acute accents lengthen vowels. All deviations from this system are adopted from authors.

TARTARIC - 
The Mongolian Alphabet is the Mancha- 
Tartar Ouigour. The Turks used it before 
adopting the Arabian charaders. It is de- 
rived from the Syriac Alphabet which was 
carried into Tartary by the Nestorian Mis - 
sionaries in the 3rd century. " They filled 
propaganda." It is said that Syriac (Ara- 
maen) was originally written from top to 
-bottom instead of horizontally as now. 
The Manchu and Mongol perpendicular 
lines proceed from left to right ; the Chinese 
from right to left.

Or Seven Regulators, equivalent 
to Week. 
This method of reckoning the week is 
very old, and is a four-fold witness to the 
unchanged order of the. series of seven 
days so well known in ancient and modern 
times. It has been a safeguard against 
the loss of a day of the week, and of one 
day being exchanged for another. Each 
day has its place assigned by four different 
planetary names.
