Book Society , Canterbury . We have just established a little Book Society among the friends at the Unitarian General Baptist Church , in this city , and which , I hope , will be the means of assisting to spread our doctrines among many here . A similar society was first established in
1820 , under the auspices of the late Rev . Sampson Kingsford , the pastor of the congregation , and upwards of eighty volumes were collected . About two years since , in consequence of the small number of subscribers remaining , the Society was discontinued ; and the books have lain dormant in the library
till a few weeks ago , when it was proposed to form a New Society , at the small annual subscription of 2 s .-6 d ., in order that all attending the meeting might be able to peruse the works circulated from time to time . Although
in its infancy , we have many subscribers ; and being fortunate [ in obtaining an active and diligent librarian , our Society bids fair to be supported by all who wish to see Unitarian prin ^ ciples predominate .
Considering such Societies calculated in a great degree to promote the principles upon which our churches are founded , by inducing persons to read and reflect upon the grand truths of revealed religion , and believe in the one only living and true God , 1 hope those places where nothing of the kind as yet has been established , will soon be induced to follow our example .
We at present circulate amongst us the following periodicals : —The Monthly Repository ; Christian Reformer ; General Baptist Advocate , ( which is presented to the Society by S . Kingsford , Esq ., ) and the Unitarian Chronicle . J . T . Elleiujeck , Secretary ,

NORWICH .
The Annual Meeting of the Members of the Octagon Unitarian Congregation , Norwich , was held in the Chapel , on Sunday , February 26 , Alderman Bolingbroke in the chair , on which occasion the treasurer
exhibited a very satisfactory statement of the finances of the Society , and held out a reasonable expectation of being enabled in the course of the ensuing year to make an addition to the stipend
of the minister . ~ Amongst other resolutions , a vote of thanks to the Rev . W . J . Bakewell was proposed by one of the oldest and most respected members , in nearly the following terms :- — - 4
My object in presuming to address this congregation on the present occasion , is to propose a vote of thanks to the minister for his evening services . * In endeavouring to discharge this duty , I trust no one will think that I entertain the wish to offer to him the
incense of adulation and flattery . Highly as I think of the merits of his lectures , it is not my wish to utter a single word in his praise that may not be responded from the hearts of us all , and insure him the gratification of au unanimous vote .
' In those lectures the scriptural authority for the kindred and indissoluble doctrines of the unity and paternal character of the God and Father of all—doctrines which form the line of distinction between the rest of the Christian world and ourselves—has
been firmly , judiciously , and triumphantly vindicated . * The lectures havo also displayed ,
