Art . IV . — -A Concise ^ History of ftt 'hes , with an Inquiry how far a Forced Maintenance for the Ministers of Religion , is warranted by the Examples and Precepts of Jesus Christ und his Apostles . By Joseph Storrs Fry . 2 nd fedition . 8 vo . pp . 36 . Bristol , Browne and Manchee ; London , J . and A . Arch . 1819 .
R . FRY , who is , we believe , of M the Society of Friends , traces the " History of Tithes" from Melchizedek to Henry the Eighth , and concludes from the retrospect , that this tax upon agricultural industry is not authorized by , nor consistent with , the Christian institution , and " that if
tithes are due at all , they are due to the poor , from whose use they have been forcibly diverted . * His pamphlet may be recommended to all that wish to understand the subject . He makes
the following observations in reply to the objection , that Tithes are as really the estate of the clergy , as the other nine-tenths are the property of the occupier of the land :
"If the tithe-claimant had any interest or title whatsoever in the land , he would necessarily be a party in any deed of sale or conveyance ; which is not the case . Nor can he controul the occupier of any estate in the cultivation of his land ;

whether to break it up or to lay it down , whether to sow wheat , or barley , or turnips , or vetches ; although in most cases the interest of the claimant is materially affected thereby . The only claim he has is on the increase , or rather on the produce , whether of corn , or grass , or cattle . It is therefore a charge solely on the skill , capital and industry of the farmer ; and
as one man may possess these in a greater proportion than his neighbour , in that proportion does he contribute more than his neighbour to the revenue of the clergy . Besides , the owner of an estate may , if he please , either plant his land with timber , or let it He wholly neglected and unproductive ; in either of which cases there would be no tithe to claim .
Therefore it is not the land , b \* t the capital , skill aad industry of the former merely that are tithed . "As a further proof of the property or estate of the clergy in the land , it is frequently advanced that a man purchasing an estate , subject to a tithe-charge , buys it a rate propdrttonably lower than he would if exonerated therefrom .
Certainly he is aware of the demand to which he is liable ; and as he has no means of avoiding it , the estate is by so much the less valuable . So also an estate subject to incursions of wolves would be less valuable than one not subject to such a
contingency ; but it by no means follows , as a necessary consequence , that the purchaser , because he buys at a proportionably low price , acknowledges the title of the sharer of the fruits of his industry , in one case any more than he would in the other . ' *—Pp . 32 , 33 .
