contributed , and are still contributing , * so liberally towards the erection of an Uni - tarian Chapel in this place , to give them the earliest intelligence of the measures which are taken from time to time for
the completion of that object . I have , therefore , much pleasure in informing them , through the medium of your pages , that the foundation-stone was laid on the morning of Thursday the 6 th of March * in presence of a number of the nlembers of the congregation fcrid of
some strangers attracted by curiosity to the spot . On this occasion an appropriate ' prayer % as 'delivered , in a very itiipressive mdnner , by the Rev . John Omer Squier , minister * of the congregation . The site is'in ^ ' # eiired ^ quiet street , nearly in the centre of the richest-part
of- tbe $ * ew TOWn of Edinburgh , aiul every day becoming ^ more tfetitral ill con- «** Juence of a large piece of ground-be-£ » nging to the Earl of Moray having been recently opened up-ibr building .
