church . At any rate he writes more hopefully ; and he is solicitous to aid id giving that character to the new sect which Will iuctace , men to unite with it whd have profound religions convictions , isad make it truly evangelical . He states that they have already raised the necessary funds , and that all the influential men of the Liberal party wish to make a part of this new congregation , The substance of his views on the subject is as
follows . Though disgust at the doctrines of Catholicism and its intolerant spirit isthe immediate motive which leads therm to separate from their native worship , and profess Unttarianistn as the most rational religion , yet , in time , the doctrines of Unitarian Christianity
becoming better known and understood , religious faith will take root in their hearts ,, and human interests give place to more devated sentiments . Besides , they Jiave no Ijefief In the Catholic doctrine ; and they wouM long ag 6 have abandoned it if they had fdun ^ in Cal vinism or Luiberanism what wilt satisfy the wants of the age . The result will be , he says , that Unitarianism being more suited to our
views , as well as to our wants , it will gain ground extensively . My friend is therefore solicitous that I should send over such works as may be useful among the enthusiastic supporters of the cause , Who , mistaking their zeal for argument , might imprudently injure the new doctririe they have eip braced , and may assist
them to combat it | ii opponents by reasonings tyhich cannot be refuted : and he desires that I would Without delay send hini . a Voltome Mrh'iclj I Wcl previously p r % Md Him ; ( au 4 which t believe he wbtiKrecMvibef ^ re his letter , which is daHeS it i ^ 2 k&Jrfal # 9 reached me ) ; and inquires \ vneflier it would not be well to translate and publish the volume of Dr .

him to publish " a selection from that volume * I had previously endeavoured to bring about the translation of the Discourse on the Evidences among the class now forming an avowed Unitarian congregation , and also among the Protestants . It appears to me the best adapted the

benefit them . I heard there , however , an occasional preacher advocate a high doctrine of atonemeut , and declare that Jesus Christ is Jehovah . I may add that my younger friend , to > whose excellent wife 1 had sent my Principles of Education , tuteilectua'l , Moral , and Physical , has put in hand a translation of it , under the fcelief that it will
powerfully contribute to lead the youth of his country to religious and moral sentiments , and thereby promote its welfare . He mentions M . Mignet , I think , as the intended translator . Those who have read the portion on Moral and Religious Education , and know the religious state of France , will be able to sympathize with me in the satisfaction this information afforded me .
L . CAKPENTER . P . S . What effect will be produced o « the measures In contemplation by the recent change in the Freuih Ministry , or whether any , it is not easy to conjecture with much probability ; but I incline to the supposition ( from what I saw of the young men of intelligence ) that it will operate as a * stimulus rather than as st cheek ,.
I must take the opportunity of adding * that Griesbach's small edition of tbfr Greek Testament , with the Prolegomena and select Various Readings * has recently been reprinted by a London Bookseller in a pocket form , and , as far as I can judge , with correctness . I hope the
Publisher will meet with the encourage Bxent he deserves * The only objection I have to the edition , is * that the text is divided into verses . It ought soon to banish the pocket editions so extensively sold of a shamefully adtdterated text : I refer to the Glasgow reprints of Aitton .

Rich ' a Short-hand , To the Editor . 15 f New Ormond St ., London T Sir , August J 3 * 1829 . Having been often applied to for a copy of Rich ' s Short-hand , I purpose to get one lithographed ; for the expense , I
have ascertained , will be trifling , And the benefit to those who , use it will , I am persuaded , be considerable . The antiquity of this ahprt ^ hand is certainly no argument in jt $ favour ; and I believe that othctr . systems have since beea invented which * re ^ referable , so far . at leaftt * s regards , brevity of character and quickness o £ writijig .
