quaintance * Engaged ^ with them and all around , in the most pure and sublime exercise of our noblest powers and affections , we share each other ' s and the general bliss . With the rapid improvement of our knowledge and goodness , the increase « of our felicity keeps an equal
pace . Eternity , not to be shortened by the lapse of twice ten thousand ages , opens to our enraptured minds the prospect of rising higher in intellectual and moral excellence , and higher still beyond all imaginable limits . Struck with the refulgent splendours of celestial glory on every side , joined in the bands of an
indissoluble union with the assembly of the just made perfect , feeling within the refined satisfaction of conscious integrity , placed under the government and protection of Jesus , the friend of man , rejoicing in the love and approbation of our God
and Father , and secure of enjoying for ever these sources of inexpressible delight , we find our happiness adequate each moment to our capacities , though growing for ever in proportion to their continual enlargement . "—Pp . 305—308 .
A characteristic portrait of Mr . Bretland is prefixed , from the plate of which the Editor has kindly allowed us to take the impression which ornaments this Number and Volume . The " Appendix" consists of Letters which Mr . Bretland contributed
to our riltli and Sixth Volumes , under the signature of Geron , on Mr . Far- mer s hypothesis of Christ ' s Tempta- tion . -

tory of English Translations by the same hand to make the work complete - In default of this , the Liverpool Unitarian Tract Society has drawn up A Brief View , as a preliminary chapter to the Introduction ; and it is but justice to say , that it contains much varied
and useful information on a subject little understood by common readers . The tract altogether is well worthy of the notice of our Book Societies . For the small price of sixpence , it would be difficult to procure any publication which would be so efficacious in enlightening the minds of the religious public by giving them real knowledge .

: E passage " U in the last " Yearl ( XV y pistle , warning the Quakers against reading nitarian books , . 561 , and the present Number , pp . 22 , 23 , ) has , as we hoped and expected , excited some surprise and stir in that
respectable denomination . TTie author of the former of these pamphlets ( Mr . C- Elcock ) expresses an ingenuous desire of knowledge and love of truth and determination of inquiry , and cautions his brethren and sisters against any attempt to subdue them to implicit faith : the author of the latter , who
conceals both his name and the reasons ( if reasons he have ) for his opinion , dwells upon the danger of doubting and the mischiefs of controversy . We will not say which is the better Quaker , but we have no difficulty in deciding which is the more consistent disciple of him who said , Search the Scriptures .
