    VERSES Occasioned by the new modelling and levelling of a church-yard , whereby the repositories of the dead were drsclosed , their dust scattered by the winds , and their fciones left exposed and uncovered . JBy a PPafruerof Arbroath ^ ivho till ivitbin U fe * W months had read nvne of the Mng lis ' h Poets . In ancient times when Nature ' s light alone "With dubious ray and feeble lustre shone , The children jstill with pious reverence kept * The hallowed ground where kindred ashes sjejp * .

    The mossy cairn , the stone or shady tree Preserved their dust from all disturbance free . When Druids ceased to seek the mystic grove , And heavenly truth Ascended from above , No impious foot with sacrilegious tread Dared then profane the mansions of the dead : Such holy awe dwelt in sepulchral gloom , That sacred as the temple , was the tomb * But now alas ! from human breasts arc fled The souls that pitied , and the heartsr ttoat bted .

    Art . VII . A Preservative against Unitarianism : in a Letter to JLant Carpenter ^ I * L * D . occasioned by his Discourse ^ delivered at Bristol ^ before the Society of Unitarian Christiaris established in the West of England ^ entitled 6 C Errors respecting Unitariartm ism considered ; and Motives and Means for the Dissemination of it stated . " By Daniel Veysie , JB . D . Rector of Plymtree , Devon . 12 mo . pp » 43 . Rivingtons . 1809 *

    A , candid but feeble attempt to refute the doctrine of Dr . C ' s . sermon by the scriptures . We thank Mr . Veysie for abstaining from all personalities and in-Vectives ; but we would remind

    him that if he means to engase in the Unitarian controversy with a chance of success ^ he must take the field with better weapons than long lists of unexplaine 4 texts .

    Art * VIII . An Answer to the Enquiry , Why are you a Dissenter ? In a Letter to a friend . Third Edition , with Additions . 12 mo pp . 32 . 4 d . or 3 s . ( 5 d . a dozen . D . Eaton . 1808 .

    This popular tract is enlarged $ , nd improved in this edition by Mr . B . Flower , who has herein rendered an essential service to the cause of non . conformity . The < c Answer" seizes upon the most objectionable parts of the established church , and urges objections with much seriousness and cogency of argument . Every Dissenter should be master of the

    substance of this treatise ; and every churchman should in justice to himself be able to " shew cause" against it . To an Unitarian there is a solid reason of dissent not argued here in the worship of the church of England being addressed to other objects than the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
