ORIGINAL LfiTTER OF DR . PRIESTLEY ^ : ( Addressed to the . Young Persons who had attended his Lectures at the Gravel-Pit Meeting , Hackney , in answer to a Letter from them on occasion of his leaving England * . ) My Young Friends ^ HPHE satisfaction I have received from your affectionate JL address is only equalled by that which I have constantly enjoyed in my attendance upon you in our lectureroom , and this arose from my perceiving the real improvement you made there , and the freedom of our conversations on subjects of such importance as were continually before us . They are such as are indeed most interesting to men , as rational and -immortal beings . The proper object of them was religious knowledge ^ but I am most happy to find you fully sensible ,, that the end of all knowledge is practice , and the end of all religious knowledge , religious and virtuous practice , and that the benefit you have received yourselves you are desirous of extending" to others * To the satisfaction I have received from your improve- * - * ment in knowledge , I therefore trust will be added the much greater satisfaction , that will occur to me from hearing of your good and exemplary conduct in life ^ which will secure our happy meeting in a state for whigfi all instruction and all the discipline of this life are intended to form us . Wherever 1 go , and whatever befals me , sucti accounts as these will give me a pleasure of which nothing can deprive me .
* The address to which this letter is a reply wa * published by Dr . Priestley id the Appendix to his farewell Sermon entitled , " The Use of Christianity in difficult : Times / 1 as The Address of the Young Men and the Young Women who attend the Lectures on the subject of Natural and Revealed Religion .
