tkat the expence of printing it , which was defrayed "by Prince Radzivil , Palatine of Vote a , amounted' to ten thousand gulden crowns . It was entirely superintended by the leaders of the Socinians , aniong whom was the celebrated Michael Servetus , De Bure observes , that only two copies were known , oiie in the Imperial Library at Vienna , and
the other io the Royal Library of Paris . Jiarl Spencer has , however , a beautiful copy , for which I have heard he gave one hundred pounds . The Bishop of Rochester ' s wants , I believe , a leaf . The title is in the Polish language , which De Bure was not able to translate , as the copy at Paris had no title , and several leaves at the beginning were torn
out , . ' Between the Old and New Testament , there are several preliminary dissertations in the Polish language . * For further particulars Concerning this great literary curiosity * see Clement Bibliotheque Curieuse de JLivres rares . Vol . iv . p , io ©*'

In trifc review of ( he life of the Rev . George Walker , in which the character of that excellent man is ably drawn , and a just estimate formed of his rare talents and his , upright and benevolent rnind , it is stated , ( V . v . p . 506 ) that on account of his marriage iC he refused an invitation from the late
Marquis of Lansdown to become tutor to the last Marquis of Lansdown . Dr . Price strongly recommended him to the Marquis , Dr . Priestley afterwards accepted the invitation . ^
The respectable reviewer of the article would naturally plead the authority of the ingenious bio « grapher of Mr . Walker , who states in the Memoir prefixed to his " Essays / ' ( vol . I . p . 70 ) that u Walker ' s marriage at this

too much with his domestic comfort as a married man . It was , however , afterwards accepted by Dr . Priestley under the same cjr ~ cumstances *" Statements equally incorrect : have been given in some other
* See the correction of Mrs . Capped having fallen into the same error . ~ Monthly Repository , v . Ill , p , %%% .
