JBrokman , in Denmark , who had been in England ; he hath all the books of that kind , that have come out these twenty years ; knows nothing but what he learns by rote out of them , and by their help is grown so eminent , that about two months since , he was promoted to the best bishoprick
in Denmark , next to that of Roskyld . V This anecdotiy which represents the English Nonconformists as contributing to jit up a Danish bishop , may be worthily transferred to your columns , from the midst of those high concerns of State among which I have discovered it . SELECTOR .

Sir , IT has been often stated as an argu ment against the doctrine of the Trinity , that Trinitarians can never hope to convert the Jews . This argument , which has been often controverted , may , perhaps , receive some confirmation from the following remarkable passage from a Jewish tract , entitled , "NizzaihonVetus , " published in 1680 , and written , as the editor with great probability points out , in the 12 th century . In this tract are many mistakes concerning our Christian Scriptures , and much unworthy abuse and groundless calumny ; but such
arguments are urged against certain supposed doctrines of the gospel as cannot be confuted . A believer in a trinity in unity would not find it easy to make a satisfactory reply to the following
passage , particularly to the Jew ' s inquiry , who was all the time in heaven , and who it was that governed the world , when God was three days dead in the sepulchre ? Nizzachon Vetus , p . 152 .

niam divisionem nullam admittunt , Quis item per id triduum , quo sepulti erant , orbem gubernabat , cum nemo ex iis aut in coelo aut in terris degeret ? 44 1 will ask another question of you , O Christian , come , answer me . You
assert that the Son was born of Mary * tell me then , whether the Father and the unclean Son , " by this strange express on Isuppose is meant the Spirit or Holy Ghost , " together with the Son , or was the Son alone in the womb ?
If you say that the Son only was there , do not your assertions contradict each other , since you say , that the persons of the Deity cannot in any manner be separated ? But if you say that the three were in the womb , and were
together nourished there , you must grant that the three were all among men , and that all the three were hanged upon the cross . But who was in heaven all that time , since they cannot be divided ? Who also , during the three days during which they were buried , governed the world , since no one of them was alive either in heaven or on earth ? ' T . C . H .

London , Sir , Jan . 16 , 1818 . IT cannot have escaped the observation of any persons who are accustomed to re * d with attention the periodical aud other publications of the assumed orthodox writers in the
present day , how frequently and earnestly they endeavour to inculcate on their readers , that Unitarianism is perpetually on the decline : nor will those who have perused the popular discourses of Dr . Chalmers " On the
Christian Revelation , viewed in connexion with the Modern Astronomy , " have forgotten the remark in the preface of that work , concerning Sir Isaac Newton , of his abetting " the leading doctrine of a sect , or a system , which has now nearly dwindled away from public observation .
The ISidectic Review hascortimenced its labours for the present year , with a long and rather elaborate critique on " 7 Tie Geneva Catechism ; prepared by the Pastors of Geneva , for the use of the Swiss and Trench Protestant
Churches /* and a work entitled , " CWsidbrations sur la Diviniti de Jesus Christ ; par Henry Louis Empayt $% 9 Genevois ; * in which the writer , iii a
