which they exhibit . The topics onwhich we solicit information are the following : — The name of the Chapel . the Minister . The average number of hearers . The existence of a Fellowship Fund . Vestry Library . _ . ^ z ^ g ^^ a ^^ i ^ - ' pay ^ School , and number of children . And also any information as toother congregations , preaching-rooms , &c , in the same county . Should such information be sent us , so as to
correct and complete what is now published , we shall feel encouraged to proceed with the remainder , and be able to present , ultimately , an authentic census of the Unitarian Denomination . A similar work has been accomplished by our brethren of the United States with great facility , and it would not be less useful in this country . To ourselves the ^ - < task is a troublesome one , and can
bring neither honour nor profit . ; but we think it an useful one , and re-^ quest the aid of our friends . All statements should be authenticated by the name of the writer . In the ensuing list we have pursued the following order : — 1 st . The name of the town , to which the distinguishing appellation , when it has one , of the chapel is added .
\ 2 . The denomination , indicated by capital letters , P .,, designating Presbyterian ; G . B ., General Baptist ; M ., Methodist . Where none of these letters intervene between the name of the chapel and that of the minister , it is presumed that the Society bears no other designation than that of Unitarian .
3 . The name of the minister . 4 . The figures following the minister ' s name shew the average num * ber of hearers . 5 . The letter F ., designates the existence of a Fellowship Fund ; L ., that of a Vestry Library ; S ., of a Sunday School , and P , S ,, of a Day
School , the figures appended being the number of scholars . No' neglect or blame is meant to be imputed to those connected with the Societies which have not made returns . In many instances , probably , the circular was not received , owing to the imperfection of the lists - fi ^ nitfhtdrin ^^ great mistake prevailed ( now , it is
hoped , removed ) about the object of these enquiries . As soon as we are enabled , by the communications which we request , the statements will be reprinted in their complete form . Such communications should be addressed , post paid , to the Editor of the Unitarian Chronicle , at the Monthly Repository Office , 67 , Paternoster-Row .
