He had to acknowledge great assistance from many men of high talent and literary reputation , some of them not peculiarly connected with their body , who had come forward , most disinterestedly it must he , to give the aid of their pens to ' The Monthly Repository' . In the present
state or that work , the contributors were without any other remuneration than the consciousness of labouring for the public good . One of his first wishes -Was , that its increased circulation might enable him to place them on the same footing as the contributors to other similar works , and
he was determined that they should share with him whatever profits it might produce . Their table had been graced to-day by several visitors who had acquired honourable distinction by their literary exertions in the
cause of enlightened and liberal opinions . It was pleasant to him to have by his side the author of the * Essays on the Lives of Cbwper , Newton , and Heber , ' the Religion of Socrates , ' and the ' Mysticism of Plato / works which show a union of

It was incumbent oil them to show their sense of the affinity of sentiment existing between them and that gentleman . He therefore proposed * The health of Mr . Potter and their other visitors .

the citadel of their faith , ; and that now there was leisure to engage in the more pleasing duty , a duty more accordant with the spirit of the gospel , of turning the sinner from , the error of his way , and showing him the beauty of holiness . He should conclude by proposing * The Success of the City Mission . '
Mr . Cordell proposed'The speedy Abolition of Negro Slavery / The Chairman then gave * The health of Mr . Field , the Secretary , and the Committee of the Chapel ;' also that of Mr . Bickneli and the other stewards . Mr . Field and Mr . Bicknkli , severally returned thanks .
The company dispersed a little before ten o ' clock .
