The circulation of a vast number of
volumes calculated to unfold the evidences , the devotional and moral spirit , " of Utilitarianism , had already made an impression iipon the public mind : the soil was not unprepared ir it

" The more attentively the prin " ciples , the tendency and the pro " ceedings of your Society are considered , the more deserving , I doubt not , it will be found of the patronage of those of vour Christian
brethren who worship exclusively the Universal Father .

We have , happily , frequent occasion to Uike notice of Sermoni before the Unitarian Associations , throughout the island ; but our attention has been calle < l to no one
