Dr . Enfield , practically applied , could not fail to make ine " what is , " a § V , F . justly observes , " of much greater consequence , a better man . " - I have occasion to trouble your respectable correspondent from Norwich larith only a short reply . He brings forward against my opponent—statements most honourable to his congregation and those who have served them
in the Christian ministry . But I cannot perceive that there is really any question between Mr . Taylor and Bereus , whose " heavy charge , ' should he examine the juvenile volume so often mentioned , he may find not entirely groundless . That Dr . Enfield soon corrected his yiews of the
Christian ministry , and made the New Testament more exclusively ** the man of his counsel" till he had become in 1785 all that Mr . Taylor knew and justly admired , is highly creditable to his piety and discernment , but no refutation of my statement respecting the Christian deficiencies of the volume published in 1769 .
That volume I had never noticed in the manner which has called forth so much animadversion , had I not been of opinion that the story ol the dead , comprehending their virtues and failings , the *• fears of the brave and
follies of the wise , " was their bequest to the living , and that it became the duty of every one to claim his life-interest in that valuable legacy whenever circumstances supplied the occasion for its honourable use . BEREUS . ¦ na

Natural Theology . No . IX . Of the Mechanical Arrangement of the Human Sod }/ . —Of the Superior and Inferior Extremities * .
EACH superior extremity consists of the shoulder , arm , fore-arm and hand . The shoulder includes two bones , the clavicle and scapula : the former , called also the collar-bone , extends
across from the tip of the shoulder to the upper part of the breast-bone , and serves to the shoulder as an arch supporting and preventing it from falling in and forwards upon the breast . The two collar-bones also make the hands
strong antagonists to each other , which without them they could not have been . The "scapula or shoulder-blade is broad and flattish , and serves as a base to the whole superior limb . It * under

side is somewhat concave , to fit on th convexity of the ribs on which it * placed , though it is not in immediate contact with them , but separated from them by layers of muscular flesh , by means of which this bone may l \[^ upon the trunk and increase the motion of the limb which is s uspended from it .
The scapula is not articulated with any bone of the trunk which would impede its motions , but is securely held to the trunk by those very muscles which perform its movements . The arm-bone is articulated with the scapula , and a high ridge called the spine rises from the back or external surface of the scapula , and traversing its whole
length runs forward to terminate in that high point or promontory which forms the tip of the shoulder , and overhangs and defends the joint This projecting point of the scapula is called the > ycremion process ? it almost makes a ji j t * f the shoulder-joint , preventing li& ^ i io u upwards . There is another process which stands out from this
angle of the scapula , and is intended to secure the joint and prevent dislocation . The shoulder-blade is in some respects a very singular bone , appearing
to be made expressly for its own purpose , and independently of every other reason- In such quadrupeds as have no collar-bones , which are by far the greater nmpnber , the shoulder-blade has no bony communication with the trunk ,
either by joint , or process * or in any other way . It does not grow to , or out of , any other bone of the trunk . It does not apply to any other bone of the trunk : it fotms in strict fact , no part of the skeleton . It is bedded in the flesh , attached only to the muscles . It is a foundation-bone for the arm laid
in , but distinct from the general ossification . The lower limbs connect themselves at the hip with bones which form part of the skeleton y but this connexion , in the upper limbs , being wanting , a basis , on which the arm might be articulated , was to be supplied by a detached ossification for the
purpose . The arm is divided into two parts , which are articulated or joined at the elbow . The upper part , or as humerh retain ^ the name of arm properly 8 called , and the lower part betwee n the elbow and wrist is called the fore ~ an » The arm or that part extending
