mystery of his religion ; since lie is equally unable to comprehend the sublime mysteries of ours , and since both these mysteries equally transcend the human understanding , one cannot be preferred to the other .
" Let us , however , return to the main question , viz , that THE INCARNATION OF THE DEITY IS THE COMMON BASIS OF HINDOOISM AND CHRISTIAN ITY . If the manifestation of God hi the flesh is possible , such possibility
cannot reasonably be confined to Judea or Uyodhya ; for God has undoubtedly the power of manifesting himself in either country , and of assuming any colour or name he pleases . If it is impossible , as our common enemies the Unitarians
contend , such impossibility must extend to all places and persons . I trust , therefore , the Christian will reflect with great seriousness on this subject , and will be iviud enough to let me know the result . 6 C I am , Sir , your most obedt . Servt . "RAM DOSS .
* Calcutta , May 23 , 1823 . " This extraordinary letter is followed by a notice that " Ram Doss havingheard nothing more publicly or privately from Dr . Tytler or ' A Christian , ' the correspondence here concluded , and the arguments adduced in vindication of the Incarnation of
the Deity as the Common Basis of Illndooism and Christianity , consequently remain unanswered . " After the specimens that Rammohuii Roy has presented to the public of the height of intellectual and theo-

Died , at Boston , Mass ., U . S ., I « eb . 5 , 1824 , Mrs . Elizabeth W . Ware , aged 31 , wife of the Rev . Henry Ware , Junior , and eldest daughter of Benjamin Waterhouse , M . D . There were many qualities in the character of the late Mrs , Ware
which gave her a claim to peculiar interest and respect while living , and render her premature death the subject of uncommon regret . To strong natural sense , and more than ordinary powers of mind , she united great energy , firmness , decision and dignity of character . Her feeble health for many years before the sickness which terminated her life , rendered the sphere of her exertions and influence
smaller than her disposition would have nnade it ; but even under the pressure of constant indisposition , there are few possessed of the full enjoy incut of health .

logical improvement which a Brahmin in Bengal may reach , it would be idle to say that Ram Doss cannot be the person he represents himself to be . If Rammohun Roy had stopped short at Hindoo Monotheism , he would have been just such a reasoner and writer as Ram Doss . But whether this name
be fictitious or real , the controversy is of great , though it may not be of equal , importance . It must have been read by means of the newspaper and the pamphlet by many natives , and it can scarcely have failed of exciting some of them to inquire into the pretensions of Hindooism and Christi
anity , and of the several forms of Christianity , now exhibited in India . On the European population , its effect must , one should think , have been still greater ; since it places the controversy between Trinitarians and
Unitarians on the plain ground of the former being akin to polytheism , and of the latter being the only Christian system that militates directly against every principle of idolatry , and every argument of idolaters .
This last remark leads us to say that there lias just fallen into our hands another East-Indi ; i pamphlet in " Vindication of the Hindoo Religion against the Attacks of Christian Missionaries , " of which we propose to give an account in the next Number .

who were capable of so much and of such well-directed exertion . Her life was terminated by a pulmonary consumption , of which the distinct commencement might be dated more than two years before its termination ; and during the whole of this long sickness , she suffered far more
from bodily distress and pain , than usually falls to the lot of the victims of that disease . With how much cheerful fortitude and Christian resignation she endured all this , can only be known by those who witnessed her days and nights
of protracted suffering ; who saw heiv , till within the few last months of her life , perform almost all the duties of a wife and mother , with as much assiduity and fidelity as she had when comparatively in a state of health , and this too with a . perfect assurance from the very beginning ,
