It is not without emotions of pleasure and of pride that we inscribe the name of Joanna Baillie on the roll of Unitarian writers . The wreath which she has won and wears , and which was gathered amid some of the loftiest peaks of our British Parnassus , is a noble offering to cast at the foot of the throne of Truth ; and our gratification in the avowal of her theological
