      Sijt , ^ -Haying been lately much engaged in conversation respecting the Unitarianr chapel wjiicli is -proposed to be built in the western part of London , I take the liberty of ofiering some observations © n wh&t appears to me a most singular motive , which has , . Lfefrl ^ many as the reason for abstaining from even a small in vestment of

      cash in the under-tafctfig . This mo- * tive is-r-that the ' p $ r- $ i&s in question , are family men , who cannot , from duty to their $ fyil 4 ren , risk even a very limited portion of property .
