We must tigpm bespeak the indulgence of our correspondents for postponing the insertion / of -various communications . Some controversial articles which have J 3 cen lying by us a considerable time we despair of being able to make use of : the writers of them will we trust give us credit for a sincere wish to do justice to our correspondents as well as to give satisfaction to our readers . Our task in editing the M . Repos . is the more difficult from the pleasing circumstance of our having so groat a number of voluntary communications . The articles we insert are not always better than those we omit , though in our judgment better adapted to each other .
Mr , Marsom ' s first letter on the pre-existence of Christ ,-in reply to Mr , Belsham , the Clergyman ' s last notice oi J . M . and Mr . ^ Belsham ' s final answer to Mr , Carpenter , shall appear in our next number , ; to which also we are obliged to defer the Obituary of Bishop Hurd , of Rev . Joseph Bradford , and the Additions to and Corrections of the Obituary of the Rev . W . Wood' , and the account of
the Anniversary of the Western Unitarian Society , with other articles of Intelligence . f ^ . We have received a long letter signed A Frte-thinhhtg Christian , complaining of our account of the little society called u Free-thinking Christians" in our last " number , and purporting to be a correction of the errors of our . reporter . Had it answered its professed end , we should have been thankful for it and wquW
gladly have laid it before our readers ; but in face , it does hot convict our reporter of one real error , and is besides so ill-written , so frivolous , so unintelligible , arid so boastful that we could not admit it into the Monthly Repository " , without subjecting ourselves to general censure . We would recommend to the Free-thinking Christia ^ A instead of challenging" Unitarians , to a contest with him to make himself acquainted with ^ their writings . By rejecting his letter , we do not however determine upon his opinions , nor do we wish the , sect to be implicated in the act of one of its members . In short , our magazine is , open to all ' thinkers , ** and the ** freer' * the better ; but in becoming writers for the Monthly Repository * they must restrain themselves within certain limits , viz , tho ^ c of orthography ? grammar , and sense . . , '
