Mr . Howe's Letter of the 10 th of May has been received ; but the Condutors , wishing to put an end to the . personalities which it must tend unnecessarily to continue , decline the insertion of it . They avail themselves of this opportunity to remark , on their own behalf , that they were induced to admit Mr . « Howe's former communication by an anxiety to evince at the outset of their undertaking that their pages were open to the adversaries of Unitarianism as well as to its friends . They confess , however , that they admitted it with reluctance , because they thought that a writer of Mr . Belsham ' s profound and varied erudition , great talents , venerable
age , and high and exemplary moral worth , might have commanded from his theological opponent more of the urbanity of the gentleman and the scholar , and more of the suavity and gentleness of the Christian . The appending of the author ' s name , on which Mr . Rowe lays much stress , is , in their judgment , of little importance , unless it have the effect of restraining the spirit and the language of religious controversy within their legitimate boundaries . They will , with pleasure , insert the paper on Dr . Marsh ' s note on Michaelis , if they are permitted to omit a few of the introductory sentences , and an offensive personality , which have no necessary connexion with the writer ' s argument .
There is nothing in D . ' s communication that can induce the Conductors to depart from their declared determination not to continue controversies begun in the former series . He will see that , by a very slight exertion of literary skill , his object may be fully attained without putting his observations in a controversial form ; and they think his paper would be improved by being remodelled . The communication from Penzance will appear in an early Number . The proposed additions to it will be very acceptable .
A Correspondent , m reference to a remark m a Review article , page 362 , states , that Dr . Mead , before his death , no longer deprecated the publication of the translation of his work , but " approved and respected" that made by Dr . Slack , as appears from the title and page xviii of the publication in 1755 . Philalethes is respectfully informed that the Conductors have demurred to insert his papers from an apprehension that the subject would not interest a sufficient number of the readers of the Monthly Repository to justify their allotting to them the necessary space .
Mr . Harrison , who writes from " No . 3 , Penton Place , Walworth , " wishes to learn the fete of a scheme which , he says , was'in contemplation "twelve or eighteen months ago , " for building an Unitarian Chapel in Walworth . The Conductors are not aware that any such plan was ever publicly announced . It is understood , that on the expiration of the lease of St . Thomas ' s Chapel , and the refusal of the proprietors to relet it , the Trustees of the Westminster Chapel were prevailed upon to apply their funds to the erection of one in Stamford Street , Blackfriars' Road , for the accommodation of the Unitarians residing in the districts which Mr . Harrison enumerates .
Some Notices and Advertisements arrived too late to appear in the last Number . Such documents ought to be in the Printer ' s hands a week before the day of publication . Since the preceding sheet was printed , the United Committee on the Corporation and Test Acts met , and resolved by a majority not to press a motion for the Repeal of the Sacramental Test in the present Sessions .
