mind us frequently of Franklin , the best ethical teacher of modern times . We think that the Volume would be a most suitable Christmas present for apprentices aud other youths that have just finished a common education , and for servants of some cultivation of
mind . No London bookseller is named on the title-page , but we presume that the w «» rk ma \ be obtained through the regular channels . The necessity of brevity , in this closing Number of our Volume , alone prevents us from inserting some passages which we had marked for extraction , as exceedingly entertaining and instructive .

Anr . VllI . —Thoughts on&ocialPrayer ; intended to shew its Reasonableness and Consistency with the New Tes * tament . By Richard Wright , Unitarian Missionary . 12 mo . pp . 24 , Liverpool , printed -. sold by Eaton , London 6 d .
LIKE all Mr . Wright ' s tracts , the " Thoughts" are judicious and pertinent , and plainly and familiarly expressed . He first contends , that ** Social Prayer * is a reasonable and useful practice * and then proceeds to examine the doctrine of Scripture with relation to it . He considers
Matt . vi . 5 , 6 , as a direction concerning the prayers of individuals , and no more a prohibition of social prayer than'our Lord ' s precepts , with respect to private alms , are a prohibition of united exertions for the relief of the
poor . He produces and comments on the following passages , as decisive of social prayer being agreeable to the mind of our Lard , and the practice of the primitive church , viz . Matt . vi .
7—13 xviii . 19 , 20 ; Acts l . 13 , 14 ; ii . 42 ; iv , 2 S—30 ; xii . 5 and 12 ; xiii . S ; xvi . 13 and 25 ; xx . 36 ; xxvi . 35 ; 1 Cor . xi . 4 , 5 , 10 , 13 and
14 , compared with xiv . 15 , 16 ; Rom . xv . 30 ; Ephes . vi . 18 ; 1 Tim . ii . 1 and 8 , compared with iii . 14 , 15 ^ and 1 Pet . iii . 7-The " Thoughts" will assist the
inquiries of such as feel any difficulty upon the subject . If the Scripture evidence be reckoned small , let it be remembered , that social prayer was the universal custom of the Jewish
Synagogue , and , of course , of pur Lord and the apostles , and that they no more thought of vindicating its authority , than of proving the being of God . This would have been " laying again the foundation . "

768 Review . —Platts * Sermon at Hull . ~—Wright on / Social Prayer .

*^ m Art . VII . — The Principles of Unitarian Christians stated and explained , and Erroneous Views respecting them corrected . A Sermon * preached before an Association of Unitarians * at
Hull , September % 9 , 1818 , in which are defined the Nutnre and Objects of the A ssoeiation . B y Joh n P ) atts , Minister and Private Preceptor , Doncaster . 12 mo . pp . 36 . Doncaster , printed : sold by Hunter , London .
f lHI ^ a lively sermon , and its JL perusal will , we doubt not , according to the Author ' s hopes , "justify the approbation with wliich it was honoured on the delivery . * Mr *
Platts devotes several pages to the subject of infidelity , and repels with becoming indignation the idle reproach of Unitarianism as a system of unbelief : but we think his zeal has
led him to ascribe to unbelievers incompatible qualities . " Enthusiasm , " for instance , can scarcely co-exist with scepticism . The moral evil of unbelief is , in our opinion , its tendency to deaden the better feelings of our nature and to paralyze the heart .
