lection * a * some persons may be ready to thmk , against what I have been sayfftg , tri the above verses , that it perfectly coincides with the design of it : to wilich purpose let it be observed , the law was introduced among the Jews , a small part * of mankind ,
that sin , upon supposition of its being committed , might abound , be increased , heightened in its malignity or guilt , by means of the law : ins 6 much that it may be concluded

Anah / sis afaWorh by a Jewish Ami tAar T Mr * Bermetj on Sacrifices , r ? PRUSSIAN Jew , of respecta-A ble charaGter , who is , ^ I am in * - formed , a portrait painter in . London , moved with indignation against what he calls the Christian Doctors , and especially against Dr . Adam Clarke , who has had the effrontery to declare
that there is not a Jew in the present day that knows the Hebrew language and the literature of that people , has published a small pamphlet on the subject of the Sacrifices of the Levitical Law ; and as this subject has much engaged your readers of late ^ you may not be unwilling to lay an analysis of his little work before them . I confess
there seems to me an antecedent probability that the Jewish people are acquainted with the laws of their forefathers : but even if they were not , since Mr . Bennett does not affect to
establish his proof upon a » y other ground than the Scriptures , it is in our power to ascertain whether his argument is conclusive .: I am , Sir , yours , J- W .
" The great body of Christian * maintain that all the laws which regard sacrifices were absolute laws , that no remission could be expected but by the shedding of animal blood ; and then they conclude that , to cleanse the spiritual leper-, the Lamb of God must be slain , the * sprinkling of his
blood must be applied : and without the shedding of his blood there can be 110 remission ; and , if tlm hypothesis be well founded * that the House of Israel in their present state of disper sion r being without animal sacrifice * * and without the salvation of the great sacrifice , L e . the Lamb of God . must
remain without any salvation whatever , and no quarter can be given to the ancient house of Israel . " He their proceeds-: —* - 1 . " If we adhere to the instructions of the Mosaic code , we shall find that
the primitive sacrifices * either animal , vegetable , or libations ,- were not instituted fbr trespasses and remission of sins . In the history of die Patriarchs we meet with quite different noti 6 n * on this subject ; for in all the accounts a £ tl *« patriarchal sacrifice ^ tfaotle of Cain , Abel , Noah , Abraham Sec . they were neither absolute iiori

Sir , f I irtE sentiment of your readers co-JL . inciding ^ vith your own wishes , they are v 6 ry sorry that you cannot favour them with an exact portrait of the late Mr . Francis Webb . If his
cousin , Eh \ JeKeried * ' had been living , he could have particularly described him from his cradle to his grave . Others are still existing in our world * who can < id much to this purpose . But , I tat * do little more than say , that he W 3 && uniformly a strenuous
advocate for pure liberty , and that according to his favourite maxim , " The love of money is * the root of all evil / ' he was never influenced by a regard to pelf . Above fifty years ago he married an amiable lady , a Miss Milner . At this time he took a hotifce ,
the rent of Which exceeded his income . Some years after , he accepted the place of deputy searcher at Gravesend , which was accompanied with S 00 & &r year . Whether tk © decupaition was injurious to his feelings or
not * I cannot positively say , but he resigned tM * lucrative situation , after Mdingit ^ ven or eight years . Beiag- at ^ distance ftom him after this , I cannot be hte historian any further . ^ t » t ; I trfc ^ ume , that he never lost
» % hfc of liberty . Iti convem ^ tion he wa » pocttliaHy eloquent and enters trtun rtg . He published two volumes < $ seMm > n «; wh < m he was'ay dung mdi' # latbk imdc rt ! l wh ^ rtn&tbem ^ i ^ ino ^ , I c ^ ncltfde with hopy ^ th ^ y ^ f Hv ift b ^ able sck > ii ^ to ^ fa ^ ymfimmii ^ ^ WK ^ $ Kmrt <> nUh 4 Ym ,- ¦ Y .
