We have here another ' Independent in Church and State / but one belonging to a very different class , and formed in a very different school , from the honest Irishman who is described by that title in a previous article . In purpose , integrity , and mental
boldness , they may be identified , but not much further . For this pamphlet we are indebted to the pure , amiable , free , and accomplished intellect of the author of Essays on the Lives of Covvper , Newton , and Heber , and of other able and interesting publications , which have from time to time elicited our commendations . With a happy adaptation of the phraseology of the Lord ' s Prayer ,
the author , ( who had before addressed the Mechanics' Institutes on the nature and necessity of that Daily Bread' by which the popular mind should be fed , ) looking towards those who profess to be the feeders , prays for * deliverance' from the crying €
eviF of clerical incapacity and insincerity . Before we exhibit a specimen of the contents and style of his work , which , like that of the Irish labourer , is also a cheap publication , its rich intellectuality being as good a bargain for a shilling as the sturdy sense of the other is for three-pence , we shall trouble the reader with a few remarks on the extent to which the offence , charged especially by him upon the bishops , pervades the whole structure and constitution of the Established Church .
It does not follow as a necessary consequence , that wherever there is a church or priests there should also be priestcraft , although it must be allowed that the tendency that way is rather strong , and requires constant counteraction . No permanent * Deliverance from Evil ; or Rational Mysticism Explained , and Episcopal Insincerity Exposed . London : Hunter . *

Of what strange hues may be the maniac ' s dream , Does slumber give him reason once again ? May not its rays on the wild sleeper gleam , 'Till wakefulness unlinks again the chain , To cast him on the way less waters of his brain ?
Are dreams of horror scourges of the soul , Retributive for crimes of far off years , Holding through sleep our spirits in control , Swaying at will our agonies and tears ? The dreary penalty of former crime , These couched visions not alone may be ; But , whilst annihilating space and time , They lift a veil , in which our souls may see A glimpse of life to come , figuring futurity . Wm . Leman Rede .
