established in Birmingham , for Warwickshire and the Neighbouring Counties . By Charles Berry . 12 mo . pp . 42 . Belcher and Son , iBirmingnam ; Eaton , London . WE regret that this Sermon did not earlier fall into our hands . It is
now we understand out of print ; but such is the amiable spirit which it ty reathes and its suitableness to the state of mind of numbers of the reputed orthodox who are first beginning ta inquire , that we would suggest to
the respectable and growingly useful Society before whom it was delivered that they cannot do better than keep it iri theiT catalogue by a re-print . To our readers in general the perusal of it -would afford much gratification .
