attempt being once made , I trust , with your correspondent , that ' * sufficient 2 eal and enough talent" will be found ably to support it . The object of the promoters is precisely that which M . S . suggests , without being aware of the existence of " the Christian Child ' s Faithful Friend / ' If sufficient encouragement be given , it is intended to increase * it in size and embellish it with occasional
wood-cuts . This little work is probably not so well known as it deserves to be ; and I shall be truly glad if my mention of it here should gain any support and co-operation for the laudable attempt of its conductors , who solicit contributions , to their pages , if they can be sent free-ef postage , to Mr . J . Philp , of Falmouth , or Mr . R . Hunter , St . Paul ' s Churchyard , the publishers .
In conclusion , Sir , I have only to say , that I hope I have correctly understood your correspondent ' s object , in supposing him to inquire for religious rather than for doctrinal books for children . Of doctrinal publications the Unitarians have no want , though my own impression is , that such books neither are nor can be fit for young children . Unitarian
Christianity is better taught to children by those religious books which are aimply free from the peculiarities of orthodoxy . But whenever the proper time may be thought to have arrived for dU recting the attention of young persons to the consideration of doctrinal ques * tions , and to the formation of their own mature and independent opinions on such subjects , Mr . Richard Wright ' s
plain and convincing pamphlets , and many others by equally able authors , will be found to contain defences of Unita-r nan Christianity such as are well adapted both for unlearned and for young readers . Joining most sincerely in your correspondent ' s wish for a greater abundance of such books as I am convinced he is at present in search of , I am , Sir , < A' Younq Unitarian Chbistian .

Faithful Friend . " This publication , which was begun this year , and costa a penny a month , is very well conducted . The article " Sunday , " in the last two numbers , is particularly beautiful . I hope the Unitarians will be careful to encourage this little werk , and not suffer it to be discontinued for want of sufftcient support . Permit me to recommend to their imitation the conduct of
a member of my congregation , who ia the manager of a manufactory about four miles from this place , where many young persons are employed , and who has , by shewing it to them , and procuring it for them , got twenty-seven subscribers to it . If all Unitarian
proprietors and managers of manufactories and conductors of Sunday-schools would follow this example , the continuance of this useful little work would be ensured , and its conductors would be enabled to , improve it by engaging and paying regular contributors . T . C . HOLLAND .

On Juvenile Publications . To the Editor . Sir , , The same want which has been expressed by one of your correspondents has , it appears , been felt in America . In a late number of the Christian
Examiner I see announced a series of works expressly for the use of the younger members of Unitarians , and in the same number there is a short article on the subject which I will quote ( with the titles of the works ) to shew the progrees already made .
