    I laid the greatest stress on the doctrines which 1 hold most important , and in which all Unitarians are agreed , I should , without hesitation , have endeavoured to lead those who still differ from us . a little farther . Nor

    do I believe , from all I have observed of the dispositions and views of such persons , that if I preached with the simplicity of truth and in the tone of Christian charity , they would have at all objected to it . At any rate they could not reasonably calculate on our silence , * -

    ( 8 ) I have only farther to observe , that Mr . BeJsham seems to me to consider the proposed alteration in the Preamble of the Western Unitarian Society , as affecting that of the London . They are perfectly distinct ; have no controul over each other ' s

    concerns ; and nothing further to do with each other , than as united \ i \ the same great objects , having several Members in common , and sometimes

    co-operating in effecting the publication of works for distribution , and the London Society supplying the Western with books , much in the same manner as the London

    bookseller supplies his correspondent in the country . And I imagine there is the same kind of connexion , and no more , between the London Society and the various other Societies in different districts , for the promotion of Uuitarian principles by the distribution of bc *> ks .

    1 have now finished all I have to lay before your readers on this subject . If any of my valued friends , ( differing from me on this point , while we unite with cordiality and full consent in so many others , and having

    the great interests of Christian truth alike at heart , though not always agreeing in the means of promoting them , ) should think it necessary to make any strictures on what I have said , I pledge myself , as 1 have done on another subject , plainly to express

    Sir , December 14 , 1819 . IN a former "Number of your Repository ( p . 623 ) appeared a communication signed W . W animadverting upon a recent controversy between two anatomical professors . As no person immediately interested in the reputation of the parties has come forward to notice his remarks ,

    you will , I trust , admit a few observations from one who lays claim to no other character in connexion with this business than that of a spectator , known indeed to both the professors , but not the eulogist or the apologist of either . What induces me to

    trouble you , is the strange inaccuracy of the statements made by your Correspondent , From the freedom and seventy of his censures , and the tone of authority , quasi ex cathedra , with which he pronounces his
