Suffer me to remind you how deeply your deliberation concerns the slate and character of our little society , and the far more momentous and enduring interests of our blessed faith . I commend you solemnly to the guidance of your consciences and the blessing of the Great Father of Lights . Need I assure you that I am your affectionate and faithful friend and pastor , JAMES MARTINEAU .

It was the Editor's wish to review this work himself for the present Number ; but more urgent occupations prevented him , and there being some difficulty in procuring the aid of the correspondents on whom he usually relies for co-operation of this nature , he lent the volumes to a
friend , whose opinion he requested . The individual , " albeit unused to the" reviewing art , was one whose judgment and taste are rarely surpassed by professional critics . The result was the following note , with the accompanying extracts , which are offered to the reader in the conviction that they are at least as satisfactory as a regular critique done secundum artem .
" The book is very lively and amusing , with quite tlie air of vraisem blance . The author must be very simple-minded , modest and honest too , with a good deal of the true German expansiveness ; perhaps rather quick in forming opinions , but very ready to correct them . He touches upon every subject imaginable , and his observations shew great quickness ; he sets out with rather too comfortable a notion of English happiness—see the
first extract ; but when he gets to Ireland he leaves his carriage , and with it his hearsay opinions , and sees and speaks well and feelingly of its miseries and its misarovernment . There are some shrewd remarks on the inconsistencies and absurdities of the English Church and ecclesiastical matters j and he has a beautiful German notion of what public devotion ought to
be . As for the rest , he is never profound , but always feels rightly and strongly ; and every one will be delighted with the book , because it is so truthful , and so unaffected . I wish it were more common to write in such a manner . There is plenty of humour too , and his Donnybrook fair might be the work of an artist ; moreover , he abounds in sentiment and pathos , "
