I am aware that the sacred prophecies lead us to expect further wars and commotions before this blessed state of things shall be established upon earth ; bat , as Christianity itself first throve and spread in spite of
political convulsions , may we not hope that arrangements destined to assuage all the fiery contentions of mankind , may grow up even while these are raging , so as to be ready to take advantage of a lucid interval to bring rulers and people to the paths
of peace ? If , as I firmly believe , Christianity be destined to make wars to cease throughout the world , it must be genuine , primitive , uncorrupted Christianity , real , practical Christianity , and not the sort of thing which has but too long passed under the name of that holy and powerful
religion . Individualized man , and genuine Christianity , are so separated as to be utterly incapable of union through all eternity . How highly , then , is it incumbent upon us who are anxious to restore the lost lustre of our faith , to take the lead in a scheme which is so
congenial with its spirit , which indeed is but a revival of the very order of society ( though under far more favourable circumstances ) which was established by the first Christian church !
Yes , Sir , I do hope that the Moravian brethren will not long remain almost the only specimen among * us of Christian union ; but that the Unitarians will promptly , after mature consideration , exhibit to the world a
still better and more illustrious display of the power of Christianity to ensure human happiness . Your missionaries will then , indeed , preach glad tidings to the poor , and carry comfort and delight wherever tfcey go , by shewing " that godliness is profitable unto all things , having the promise of this life , as well as of that which is to come . " PHILADELPHIA . " . S . I will , at some future opportunity , with your permission ; point out an easy way of obtaining many of the advantages of Mr . Owen ' s plan , » y association of persons inhabiting the metropolis , and other cities , and following their usual avocations .

Notes on Dr . Jonetfs Greek-English Lemcon . 457

Sift , August 6 , 1823 . THE public are incalculably indebted to the learning , taste , and industry of Dr . Jones , in supplying what all but merely prejudiced scholars have long regarded as a desideratum in lexicograph y * The meaning of Greek words , in their nice distinctive shades of signification , is in numberless instances conveyed loosely and ambiguously to the apprehension of the English student , through the interposed medium of Latin terms . This tribute of an
humble individual to the author of the Greek-English Lexicon , cannot be judged foreign to the purposes of your journal , as among the striking and incontestable advantages which the dictionary in question offers , may be accounted the light which it reflects on the phraseology of the New Testament .
Dr . Jones himself would perhaps be one of the last to feel any surprise at the detection , even in this his lucid and elaborate work , of some of those maculcB
quas aut incuria fudit , Aut humana parum cavit natura . Dr . Johnson in the transcript for the first edition of his Dictionary , had overlooked the word sea . By a similar unaccountable oversight , Dr . Jones has passed over without the slightest notice the Greek verb for go : fictwwj Paw , and ySo ;^ ci . . It struck me also , on a cursory comparison of the Lexicon with the Greek Plays , that one or two various senses might be added with advantage . I take the liberty of submitting them to Dr . Jones ' s consideration .
