    ^ Vj thin the l ast njonth , two persons who have been preachers amongst other denominations of fCluistians , have avowed their conversion to Unitarian principles .

    One has been a local preacher amongst the Methodists , the other an occasional preacher in Lad y Huntingdon ' s connexion . Are they not proper objects For the notice of the Unitarian Fund ?

    If they meet With encouragement and " assistance they are both of them willing to exert themselves in the propagation of Unitarian sentiments . And 1 doubt not but they may-be exceedingly useful to the cause , in this populous town and neighbourhood , amongst that class which most needs

    information . -To the case ot the former , whose name is Richard Brad burn > I would also request the attention of your readers on ^ mother accounts He owes his conversion in a

    great measure , to the perusal ot JMr . Wright ' s excellent work , f < The AntUSatisfactionist . " After having fully considered the subject , he wrote a Dialogue

    upon if , which lays no claim to originality , but contains the substance of several of Mr . Wright ' s arguments , sometimes also expressed in his language . This worthy and indefatigable champion of Unitarianism has however

    kindly consented to Mr . B / s making use of his work in any way he pleases . Conceiving that such a pamphlet as this unpolished dialogue will form , ( especially as it was written by one that has £ mi a Methodist ) would perhaps

    be read by a class of persons into whose hands Mr . Wright ' s larger work may never fall , we wish to

    propose its publication . The price of it when printed will not exceed a shilling , . but as tl > e man is very poor , I think many of your readers will not , object to a subscription of two shillings . I hope , therefore , that the ministers of different Unitarian Societies will not be unwilling to receive trie names of such as wish to encourage him , and transmit them to your sincere well-wisher , JOHN GRUNDr .

    P . S . I send you a copy of tlie Introduction to his Dialogue , addressed to my worthy colleague , the Rev . Mr . Tayler , and myself . Gentlemen , It is not long since I was a blind and a rigid Trinitarian . I opposed the So *

    cinian doctrines , both in public and private , to the . utmost of my power ; and it was owing in some degree to this opposition , that I was led to examine my own sentiments . But what fully convinced me of the erroneousness of those sentiments was Mr . Wright ' s

    Anti-Satisfactionist . But that I might put my opinions to the s ^ uctest investigation , I wrote the following Dialogue in which you will perceive I have adopted many of Mr . Wright ' s arguments , and sometimes in the author's own words . But as I wrote it for myself , I have not marked any quotations . I now present

    it to you , unpolished as it is ,, that yo , u may see I have not altered my principles but upon real conviction . Being now separated from my former religious cox * - nexions , to be united with those , whose sentiments I have embraced , wpuld afford the greatest satisfaction j ® onp , who does not wish to stand alone .
