* To the Editor of tne Monthl y Repository .
SIR , The manner in which a very important question has lately been taken up , has excited mo to request the favour of you to insert these few lines in your valuable
publication : and , as the question has long dwelt upon my mind , I fcc 4 Some satisfaction in the hopes , that an opportunity is offered of its meeting with a qandid and impartial discussion . Your publication seems to me to be
