Antiquaries ; and on the death of the late Marquis Townshend , was elected president ; a well-deserved , but shortlived honour , his religions sentiments being the alleged barrier to his reelection , the Earl of Aberdeen being chosen in his room . After this , he retired from all active concern in the
affairs of the Society . " * The fact above-stated naturally excites curiosity respecting the circumstances of the case . What were the obnoxious sentiments ? Ought any peculiarities of theological opinion to interfere with the election of a learned ,
accomplished and honourable man to an office in a Society , whose professed object is the investigation of History and Antiquities ? And does not such a Society , by refusing to elect a man
simply on account of his religious opinions , espouse the cause of opposition to those opinions , and thus pursue an aim totally extraneous to the avowed design of its institution ? An elucidation of this case from any of your correspondents will oblige PHILANDER .

—^^ JBirm ingharn , Sir , June 4 , 1822 . ALLOW me to send you some extracts from a sermon I preached on the 28 th April last , on account of the death of my esteemed friend the Rev . Edmund Butcher , from Dan . ix % 23 : " For thou art greatly be loved . " ROBERT KELL
The recent loss of one of my earliest and dearest friends will plead my excuse for the discourse I am about addressing to you , and my loss is not merely personal , it is a general loss ; k is a loss especially to the denomination , of Christians to which we
belong , and of which he was a distin - guished ornament and minister . You have doubtless heard , and those who had the pleasure of knowing him have heard with deep regret , of the death of the Rev . Edmund Butcher , late of
Sidmouth , with whom , for nearly 40 years , I have lived in the most entire and uninterrupted harmony and affection ; I therefore feel the separation as of a brother endeared by the recollection of lono ' -known and tried
