of your readers could probably assist much , were they to favour us with occasional extracts from their correspondence ; and if individuals would exert their influence with intelligent friends at a distance , it wouM ,
perhaps , be the means of furnishing interesting matter to the Unitarian body . But I apprehend a still greater public good would accrue , if direct Correspondents could be found in various places , to whom the Repository might be regularly forwarded \ and I do not
see why dissimilarity in language should present any serious obstruction . There are few places to which a direct communication is not open , and many of our periodical works have obtained a wide foreign circulation As respects America , no obstacle exists , and various causes lead us to look
with greater interest to that quarter , than any other . To carry into execution what I have suggested , an expense would be incurred , and on this account I would propose a fund for the purpose of
supplying and forwarding the Monthly Repository , with a view to the establishment of a foreign Correspondence , and for defraying any extra charge arising therefrom .
The annual amount , I conceive , would not be more than might readily be raised , and individuals have expressed a willingness to contribute to this object . I leave it to the committees of our Fellowship Fund Societies to decide , whether a trifling contribution from them would Jbe
incompatible with the objects for which they were established . Much of the trouble and uncertainty of forwarding the Repository , monthly , might be obviated by the services of friends at home and abroad , willing to lend their aid for that purpose .
Should the hints I have given , be thought worthy of being wholly or in part adopted , the result of the experiment might render the Monthly Repository the direct channel of communication for the advocates of religious reform , wherever situated , and a closer connexion would be
established between those whom no distance , or peculiarity of language , ought ever to separate . H . T . P . S , I sincerely hope , endeavours

have been every where made by tlie friends of free religious discussion , to extend the circulation of the Repository , so as entirely to remove the apprehensions for its continuance , which the Editor was compelled to express at the close of the last year . Such an
alternative would not only be disgraceful to a numerous , and I may add wealthy body , but would be attended with serious inconvenience , as no channel for Communications , Intelligence or Advertisements , would be
open to the Unitarians , It gives me much pleasure to remark , that in this place , an appeal , the necessity for which is much to be lamented , was promptly answered , arid nearly fifty additional copies of the publication were immediately subscribed for .

" I could wish , ' says King Edward , ' that when time shall serve , the superfluous and tedious statutes were brought into one sum together , and made more plain and short , to the intent that men might the better understand them ; which thing shall much help to advance the profit of the commonwealth . " If this were to be desired in his days , how infinitely more needful must it be now !
