recorded . Few men are engaged in the education of youth , who do not originate some facilities and improvements in the art , that ought to be promulgated ( perhaps in some specific publication ) and copied according to
circumstances . Mode of pronouncing Greek . As a discriminating and appropriate improvement of the plan here announced , it may be suggested that it would be worth while for each subdivision of
Unitarians to adopt such a portion of the project as would correspond to the extent of their respective departures from orthodoxy . There might thus be something in our whole body resembling initiation into Masonic degrees . For instance , high Arians
