    THE INQUIRER , NOk IV * 1 . Dr . Chandler ' $ Notes on the Bible . —« 2 . Dr < Toulmtnf Author of * An Essay on the Eternity of the World "—3 . Dr . Waits ' sand Dr . Whitb j / 's Last Thoughts . —4 . Mil * ton ' s quotation of Lord Bacon , and his keeping a School at Greenwich . —5 . Mr . Cappts " Critical Dissertations *'—6 . Hebrew Vowel Points .

    I . To the Editor of the Montkty Repository * Sin , It is well known , I apprehend , that the learned Dr . Chandler left , in his interleayed bible , a large number of critical notes , chiefly in Latin ; drawn up in the manner of Raphelius , Bos , Eisner , and other

    writers of that kind ; and that this bible was purchased , for a small consideration , by Dr . Amory , Mr . Farmer , Dr . Fumeaux , Dr . Price , Dr . Savage and Dr . Kippis , with an intention of committing thereto the press . In the Protestant Dissenters' Magazine , for June , 1794 , p . 260 , we are told , that as there was , then , little probability of the

    " Notes" being published , it was the purpose of Dr . Kippis ' , the only surviving proprietor , to deposit the bible in Dr » ^ Williams ' s Library . Query : Was this Manuscript deposited there ? If not , the gen - tleman , with whom Dr . and Mrs . Kippis ' s Executor , ^ : he late Mr * Lewis resided , can , probably , give some account of them . Can no

    plan for the publication of these notes be devised ? Is there no Meccenas among the friends to Biblical Criticism to patronize the publication , and to set on foot a spirited subscription to indemnify the press ? The eminent learning of the author , and the valuable specimen which he has given of his application of it to the elucidation of the scriptures , in his posthumous commentary on some of Paul ' s

    Epistles , cannot but raise high expectations of the merit and utility of those notes , and create in the lovers of sacred literature an earnest desire that they could be recovered and given from the press . It is much to be regretted , if through Mr . Lewis ' s emigration to America * they be lost , or are lying in a library , covered with dust and the prey of worms . T »

    II . To the Editor of the Monthly Repository . Sir , In the preface to Dr . Priestley ' s Letters to a Philosophical U »* believer , Part 2 , " there are some remarks upon an Essay on the Eternity of the World , " by Dr . Toulmin . Now I should be muck * Where he died , soon after his ar rival , of the yellow fever . £ rw
