capable of . serving the cause of Unit&rianism than Sir . Jamei , nor is tliere any person more zealous and active in that cause . He was brought up at Exeter ^ under the late excellent Mr . Kenrick , and is generally esteerhed a good scholar , as wtil as an able preacher . He has published two pamphlets , on the doctrine of satisfaction , in
the Welbh language ., which are Highly spdkrn of on account of the clearness and force with which they are written , and he is aboiit ~ To publish a third pn the same bee

intolerance of bigotry 5 and from the nunibers , information , zeal and activity of its friends , in that part of the country , there is every reasoif to expect its nnuch more extensive diffusion and glorious
success . I haVe travelled , on this journey about 825 mi lies—I was from home 50 days , and preached 26 times .
