ARTICLE IV . A Letter addressed to a Society of Protestant Dissenters in . the West of England . B y James Hews Bransbj / , pp . 27 , is . Vidler , 1806 .
This excellent letter addressed by Mr . B . to his former congregation at Moreton Hampstead , Devon , was sent , in the first place , for insertion in our work ; but , exceeding the limits w . e are constrained to set to miscellaneous communications was by us recommended to be printed in a separate form . We are flattered with the reflection th # t our opinion may , probably , have contributed to induce the author to publish so edifyin ^ an epistle .
, Mr . B . takes for the ground-work of the Letter , Titus ii . x . Adorn t he-Doctrine of God our Saviour in alt things ; and points out the methods whereby the precept of the Apostle may be fulfilled ; as 1 . by a regular and serious attendance on the ordinances of religion , S . by forming an intimate acquaintance with divine truth , 3 . by active exertions to diffuse the knowledge and spirit of religion , and , 4 . by the charms of personal holiness , by purity of heart and uprightness of life . These topics are handled with great liveliness -of manner , and simplicity of style . The letter will be read with great pleasure by all who unite to their admiration of rational religion , a conviction of its importance , and of its connection \ tfith true holiness and eternal happiness .
The unexpected length of some of the preceding articles , and an unusual quantity of temporary matter , oblige us to defer the continuation of the review of KenrLk ' s § crmons to our next number ; in which , it is our intention , to insert the whole of it .

MONS . CUVlER ' s EULOGY ON DR . PRIESTLEY . pvye need not to assure our readers that we have not been at the pains to procure * and translate the following oration from our approbation of M . Cuvier ' s censures on Dr . Priestley ' s character as a theologian . On that subject lie is as little competent to form a judgment , as an English peasant wWld be on the various Subjects discussed in the National Institute . We have selected the Fulogy for the Monthly Repository partly as a literary curiosity , an 4 partly , we confess , as a set-off against the unqualified censures passed on Dr . Priestley , by certain northern writers who affect to wonder , ( wise souls !) that the world should so long hiitk mistaken hin | for a philosopher ! Editor . ]
