publications , in favourof Unitarianism , the title of this pamphlet will be a sufficient recommendation of it . Dr . Carpenter enters thoroughly into his subject , and meets
objections in all their force and disposes of them with ability . To opponents he is exemplarily candid , and his strain of writing , tinctured with unaffected piety , is peculi ^ Iy fitted to conciliate such readers as
apprehend that Unitarians are s ^ rftngera to religious feeling . The remarks on Dr . Smith ' s Discourse are , we humbly Ihink ,

Art . , VIJ . The Ground * ofUnjitarian Dissent . A Serrnon , . preaohed Nov . 15 , 1812 , at the opening of the Chapel in
Uniou Place , Glasgow . By James Yates , M . A I 2 mo , $ d Edition , ( 1 st and % d Editions 8 vo . ) pp . 36 . Glasgow : Brash and Reid . London :
Longman and Co . 1813 . The opening of a chapel for the sole worship of the One God , in Glasgow , forms an era in the history of Unitarianism . The station is most important , and the duties of the minister who
nils it are in no cotnmon degree arduous ; the Unitarian churck at Glasgow is happy , however , in the enjoyment of the services of such a preacher as our author , who writes well , reasons forcibly , and manifests a serious conviction
of the importance , and a becoming zeal for the diffusion , of divine truth .
Mr . Yates lays down the three following " Grounds of Unitarian Dissent , " " 1 , The free and
unbiassed Use of the Understanding on Religious Subjects ; 2 , The Worship of God the Father only ; 3 , Holiness of Heart and Excellence of Conduct the only means of obtaining Salvation . " These principles are clearly ex * plained find zealously enforced . We wish permanence to the connection between Mr . Yates
and his people , so honourable to hirn and so useful to them ; and we hope that through their joiuf labours , and those of . other UnitSty » nans , and Unitarian Societies , \ vp shall have the pleasing duty of re ^ cording the dedication of many houses pf pffyyer } H Seojl ^ d to the Qod aind Fftitor of i « s « f Q km *

* ' A ^ idat all that we have deplore in the melancholy events of the last ao years , the heart of a Christian is con-§ oie 4 l * y the reflection , that the ascen-4 eiicy of Rome and the feodalties of a laree portion of Europe , of which the
one supported spiritual and the other civil despotism , are gone for ever . The Church of France can never regain her poiper , because she can never regain her revenues ; and the necessities of other countries will soan induce them also , to seize upon those riches , without which , in the present day , ecclesiastical authority would fa perfectly impotent " ( pp . ^ 4 , 35 . )
