As Mr . Wright pursued nearly the game course in the preceding year , the following extracts from his Jouri ^ ai are all that the Committee deem it necessary to lay before the Subscribers . Some of them are selected on account of thelt relation to objects towards which it is desirable to direct the benevolent attention of the Unitarian public .

' "' This journey employed me ^ nearly three months , during which time I travelled 936 miles , preached 61 times , administered the Lord ' s Supper twice , and attended various other Meetings . It was one of the most laborious and successful that I have ever performed ; in the course of it I had the happiness of witnessing , in several places , the effects of my labours during the preceding summer in various parts of the same district , and of observing the rapid progress the cause had made in the last twelve months , which is certainly greater than I had ever before known it to make
ux any one year . €€ Hdnley . c * This is an interesting station for the establishment of the Unitarian cause , being itself a populous town , still rapidly increasing in population , wd : situated in , the centre of the Potteries . As large a congregation is already collected . as the place of . meeting will admit of ; a number of persons
appear to be well informed in the Uintarian doctrine , and to be ^ in honour to the profession of it . Much has been done , considering the shortness of . the time which Mr . Cooper has resided among them . 1 preached at Hanley three times to large congregations . i " I had much ccwftyeraation with the friends respecting the erection of a chapel at Hanley , which appears to be absolutely necessary to the firm establishment and furtherance of the cause there and in the Potteries at large . Before I left , I attended a meeting of the friends to consider and digest the plan of building a chapel . I am happy the matter was fully determined on ,
and have no doubt but that those who have the management of the business will proceed with economy and prudence , and that , when the chapel is finished , the congregation will much increase . " There is every thing to encourage the Unitarian . ptLblie to patronize this object . The situation and populousness of Hanley and the neighbourhood around ; what has been already done ia th 6 cause there in a short time ; the pledge which the friends at Hanley and Newcastle have given , by their
exertions in the cause , and liberal contributions towards a chapel , that | | one be erected , they will not fail in their steady endeavours to promote Unitarianism , and render it successful ; the well known character of Mr . Cooper , the steady exertions he has made and is making , the respect he has eXcited , and the success which hag already attended his labours $ all thepp things , it is hoped , will have their due weight with the Unitarian putilie , and induce them
to subscribe liberally towards the erection of a ^ chapel al ^ Ifrtwy , wtucumu be a temple for the worship of the One Gori the Father , M a populous district , iq which , till lately , his exclusive wobAip was unknbvm and uhpattbnized ; * Frbtn Hanley and Newcastle , the pure doctrines « tif the gdspel and Christian liberality may be diffused over Extensive trapt $ fif jtjQflptry , enveloped in the darkness of reputed orthodoxy , and where tfte jpiinds of men are . fettered by human , creq < Ja , uliKerality , and bigotry .
