33 . In one school that I have been in the habit of visiting , where there are generally about forty boys and girls , there are always two assistants employed ; the master informed me that at first he
usually received for each scholar , for every lunar month , a sum ivhichis equal to about 8 d English money ; that some time afterwards it was increased to double , arid is sometimes a rupee , but
never more . 34 . Besides these payments there are some other trifling expences which are incurred by the
scholars ; the oil for the school lamp is furnished daily by each of them , in succession ( each supply will cost about a halfpenny ) ; on the . day preceding those of the full and change of the moon , a small
copper coin of the value of somewhat more than half a farthing is given by each scholar to the master , for the performance of some religious ce remonies within the school , and which is always expended for that
purpose j on each day of the full And change of the moon they again present him with each about a halfpenny , of our money , when Jbe grants them these , and the two

Answer to the Questions on Uni * versal Restoration * Holborn , June 28 , 1814 . Silt ,
Your correspondent , Mr . Wright , has favoured us with some ques * tions ( p . 22 & of the present vo lume ) , which were proposed to him before he was an univfcrsalist , which he inform& . us he was unable to answer without admitting the truth of the doctrine which
they were intended to establish ; and which he says were one mean , amongst others , of his embracing that doctrine . From thenatureof the questions , Sir , and from Mr . WW answers to
them , I should conclude that he was not unwilling but well-pie-, pared to receive the doctrine upon almost any kind of evidence that Jnight be offered in its support .
Questions may be put so general in their nature , and in such a form as easily to mislead the Unwary and betray them into concessions which would support the
claims of any hypothesis . The first question , " £ ) id God ever design the happiness of all men ?** will scarcely admit of a direct answer but in the
affirmative . But then we ask , did God design to make nlen . happy at all events , independent of character and conduct ? Did he ever design the vicious and abandoned to be
happy in a course © f vic ^ and iniquity i it we reason / rotn the kin 6 wri pftffections ftf * fce © eity We Knist < iQhciii 4 e tkaU || 3 impto -
