    learnedl y * and acutely , defended . One of these works , on Sacrifices , has been for a few years before the public , and deserves , though no reasonable person will expect it to receive , the notice of Archbishop Magee . The manuscript of his work ori the Trinity , which , as far as I have

    examined it , uuite 3 the metaphysical acuteness of Edwards , with the simplicity of Lindsey ; that on Justification / and a part of that on Original Sin , are in my possession ; and I have reason to thiuk that no obstacle would exist to the publication of them , but the fear lest the professed friends of Christian truth should

    not afford sufficient encouragement to the publisher , iucluding some remuneration to the widow and family of the learned author . If many of your readers should think as I do on the subject , that fear might easily be removed . With best wishes for the success of your labours to promote free inquiry , I am , &c , B . MAKDON .

    Unitarian Worship at Blackwood . To the Editor . Sir , An attempt to establish a place of worship on purely scriptural principles , in Monmouthshire , of considerable local as well as general interest to the Unitarian public , is now making under circumstances of more than ordinary

    promise . Seven years ago , an experiment for bettering the condition of the labouring classes in the great mining district of that county , was begun by a gentleman of considerable property there , who had long been in the commission of the peace for that and other counties , and whom experience and mature reflection

    had convinced that the great mass of the population of the country could only be rescued from the state of degradation and dependance into which they have too often fallen , and be reclaimed from vice , by their being enabled to live more comfortably , and consequently being made happier .

    This experiment having succeeded in a degree exceeding the most sanguine expectations of the originator , and a vil - lage having been created on his estate , iu his immediate neighbourhood , and under his constant inspection and controul , containing not less than from 1200 to 1500 inhabitants , for whose benefit and accommodation he has erected a markets-house and school , it has been for some time his anxious desire to add

    thereto the still superior advantages afforded by a place of worship , in which the pure doctrines of Christianity shall alone be taught . In furtherance of this great object , the Rev . George Skey has been engaged as pastor , and divine service has been regularly performed in the school-room ( which has been registered for that purpose ) twice every

    Sabbathday , for the last six weeks , to respectable and attentive audiences , with every prospect of increasing usefulness and permanency . It is , however , found that the school-room , in which 150 children are daily taught , does not contain the necessary or convenient accommodation for the congregation which assembles in it ; and ground for the erection of a new

    chapel , and for a burymg-ground , together with a subscription equal to onethird of the necessary cost of the building , is offered by the patron of the village . When it is considered that in the greatly improving and increasingly populous

    county of Monmouth , there has never before been a regular place for the worship alone of the one true God , and that the present attempt enjoys advantages which may not only establish one on a firm basis , but constitute it a rallying point for the friends of religious truth , and even form a sort of nucleus for

    similar neighbouring and connected experiments , it may not be too much to hope that a liberal and , in particular , a Unitarian public will feel interest in its success , and afford it the additional patronage it may require to develope all its capabilities for usefulness . It is a part of the plan at Blackwood to institute a library in the new chapel , and to annex thereto a Congregational Provident Society , towards the formation of the former of which donations of books have

    been already promised , and a weekly subscription been entered into for regularly taking in and circulating the Monthly Repository , Christian Reformer , and Christian Pioneer , and other periodicals . Any donations or subscriptions towards the erection of the chapel will be received by Dr . Thomas Rees ; or by Mr . Horwood , at the Monthly Repository Office , 3 , Walbrook Buildings . G . S . * * The sum wanted towards completing the chapel is £ 150 .
