UNITARIAN ACADEMY AT YORK . To the Editor of the Monthly RepGsitoiy . Sir / I beg leave to correct a mistake , into which your worthy correspondent " Neocornensis" has fallen , in his admirable letter , ( Vol . II . p . 117 . ) respecting the Unitarian Academy at York— - speaking of the support that Institution receives from Manchester , Liverpool ., &cc . he says , " that the opulent towns of Nottingham , Leicester , Birmingham , and Norwich , do not furnish a single guinea in the way of Miscellaneous Subscription / ' Of the three last mentioned towns , . I " am sorry to say this assertion is too true . But
with respect to Nottingham , I refer your correspondent to the Report published in Feb . 1806 , where he will find ths name of one gentleman at Nottingham , an annual subscriber of three guineas . I can further inform your correspondent , that the Unitarians of Nottingham did subscribe eigh- * teen guineas not many months since , to assist a young man to spend some time at York for further improvement , who had been educated at the Independent Academy , at Mox *
ton , and had preached to a society of Calvinists in Nottingham ^ but who , from an attentive perusal of the scriptures , and a serious examination of the sentiments in whic !> he was educated , thought proper to renounce the gloomy system of Calvinism , and to embrace the more rational and scriptural views of Unitarianism . Now I am persuaded your
correspondent will allow , that the opulent town of Nottingham , has * furnished some assistance to the Institution at York : more , I am inclined to believe it will do in a short time . It is hardly necessary to observe , that to support a student at the Acacjemy , or to enable the Trustees to do it ,- is m fact the $ ame thing .

proves that the bigotry and intolerance of the Church towards us , is certainly not increasing , but 1 should hope rather dying away . If you think these observations worthy of insertion in the Repository , they are much at your service : at the same time permit me to say , that I shall with pleasure see anyfurther remarks , which may have a tendency to improve the state of psalmody among the Unitarians . I remain , Sir , Your Constant Reader , Norwich , Dec . 10 , 1806 . J . R ,
