purely critical , or not properly adapted to family reading . I have been advised to publish a specimen , together with a list of the subscribers ; aud when I shall have made a little

had done no such thing ; tmt . not « r pecting your readers to believe *» gratuitously , I argued thus : Mr . Jones is himself an Unitarian , and being « * most ingenious and learned man , " it is scarcely to be supposed that he ex .
posed the puerilities of his own system My opponent answers this argument ' by admitting the fact , that Mr . Jones is - an Unitarian . But as he does this only parenthetically , he may think * perchance , that his argument is not affected by it .
I argued again : that Mr . Jones ' s book is written consistently withUoitarianism , and inconsistently with orthodoxy . To this no other anawerk made than by objecting against me a mistake , which , were it fully substantiated , would not affect my conclusion , I inadvertently said that the main object of Mr . Jones ' s book is to attack
orthodox y . To adhere strictly to matter of fact , and to obviate all cavil , I ought to have said as above , that his book is written in consistency with his sentiments as an Unitarian , and inconsistently with those of orthodoxy . Where is the difference in regard to
my argument ? Who will expect a book written consistently with Unitarian principles to expose thzpueri lilies dt Unitarianism V WiU " A Catholic Christian , " or the writer © f the note , have the goodness to say categorically what those " puerilities of U nitarianism" are , which Mr .
J . has exposed , and refer to the pag € » of his book where he has made the exposure ? Until this be done , " A Catholic Christian ' s" argument i * mainly defective , and receives but poor assistance from invective and declamation .
When I observe , that surely" it w impossible that the writer of the note should have read Mr . Jones ' s book , " ( and I might have added , Fiave known anything about his sentiments ) "A Catholic Christian" makes no attempt to prove the contrary ; but his reply i »
in the following terms : " This w a * assertion certainly as bold , as dogmatical , egotistical and gratuitous , as any ever made by the most fanatic M « thocJist , orthe most ferocious

An , Answer to " A Catholic Christian ' s " Remarks * tlagrat vitio gentisque suoque . Sw , Feb . 17 » 1815 .
CORRESPONDENT in your A Number ( x . 83 ) under the signature of •« A Catholic Christian , " has attacked with much vehemence some remarks I had made in your last voh ( ix . 553 ) on a note in Storer >
Cathedrals , which I considered worthy of considerable reprehension . To avoid involving my remarks in reply , by answering separately to the observations of one who is represented as " a most decided Trinitarian , " and those
of" A Catholic Christian , " I shall consider the latter-answerable for every thing that has been advanced . The remarka are so blended together that it . is not easy to separate them in the argument j and the Trinitarian ' s observations are fully approved by A Catholic Christi ^ n *? for he says they are" clear and unanswerable . " Let
us » ee * < - ¦¦; ¦ » : The note-writer . ; in question had said * " -We concur , however , with a most ingenious and learned defender of the Christian : faith , who has ably exposed the pueriljUir § of Urjitarian ism , &c . " 1 well knew that Mr . Jones
