Protestant Dissenters" Magafcaine , and also in the Monthly Magazine , for the month of November , in the same year . In this memoir were promised an additional volume of his father ' s

and had caused several pLates to be engraved , with the view to a publication on strictly scientific principles , but the book has never been given to the world . Jn December , 1 805 , Mr . Worthington published a discourse , which he had preached on the day
patible with the pastoral duties at Salters' Hall . And , upon his retiring , the congregation presented him with a piece of plate , of the value of sixty guineas as a token of respect and gratitude , for the benefits which they and their families had derived from
