Note 39 — JEAN PAUL FRIEDRICH RICHTER. (continued 2)

In Erlang, my petition has been granted. The Bible Institution of that town have found instead of the 116,301 A's, which Fixlein at first pretended with such certainty to find in the Bible-books (which false number was accordingly given in the first Edition of this Work, p. 81), the above-mentioned 323,015; which (uncommonly singular) is precisely the sum of all the letters in the Koran put together. See Lüdeke's Beschr. des Türk. Reichs (Lüdeke's Description of the Turkish Empire. New edition, 1780).
