aliy difficulty in saying Tie would not do what , in fact , would be a transgression of actual law , however he might in principle have objected to that law . It is lamentable to see provisions of this sort seriously pressed at this time of day ; but if the State thinks it worth while to ask of any one to whom it gives a particular

Sermons for Family Use . To the Editor , Sir , 1 take the opportunity afforded by the inquiry of " A Subscriber , " as quoted under the head of " Correspondence , " in your last number , to recommend to him " Sermons chiefly on Practical Subjects , by E . Cogan , " ( 2 vols ., ) which I
was indebted for my acquaintance with , to a review of them in your Repository , 0 . S ., ( XIV . 257 , 323 , ) and T would iwillingly extend the obligation to the utmost of my power . Indeed , such is my estimation of them , that it has appeared to me an incumbent duty to
extend the knowledge of them as far as I lould . In doing so , however , I think it right to point out one important oversight , Sermon VI . p . 121 , which I imagine the excellent author was led into by the strength of his own benevolent feelings , but which , I have no doubt , he would be induced to correct in a second
edition—which it has been matter of Surprise to me that they have not long fcgo reached . On reflection , I think he v could not fail to admit that regard to the will of God is the principle which gives to benevolence its highest character , autl that , without which , it must be defective , however strong the generous impulse may be .

the best means of making . known what , if known , would soon f trust meet with an effectual remedy . I have lately received from a friend at Brighton , a pleas- * ing account of the Unitariau interest in that place ; which appears from his statement to be steadily and progressively improving . Much interest has been
evidently excited in the town , and no doubt appears to be entertained , that our sentiments are gradually overcoming that prejudice which has been so great au obstacle to their diffusion . These pro * - spects are encouraging , but , at the same time , I must not omit to notice the reverse of the picture ; the congregation are united in one . sentiment of esteem
towards a minister whose services they know how to appreciate , but they are at the same time encumbered by an enormous debt on the chapel , and find all the exertions they can make ( and be it told to their praise , that they have made astonishing exertions ) inadequate to the raising of a sum sufficient to provide for the support of worship , and for the
repairs and other necessary expenses of the building ; and they , therefore , look forward to the termination of their present engagement , which I understand from my friend will be in August next , with a sad presentiment of what must then take place , unless some decisive step can be , in the mean time , taken . Now , under these circumstances I cannot believe I
shall appeal in vain , on their behalf , to those generous friends who have so frequently before come forward to afford timely assistance to their distressed brethren . Shall we , when so fair a prospect of usefulness is opened , allow the cause of truth to be abandoned thus , in a town , the population of which exceeds forty thousand persons , for the sake of a , few hundred pounds , when , by a trifling sacrifice on the part of our Unitarian ,,
