    , ARTICLE I . Letters to Dissenting Ministers , and to Students for the Ministry , from the Rev . Mr . Job Orion . Transcribed from his original Short-hand ^ with Notes Explanatory and Bio graphical . To which are . prefixed ,. Memoirs of his Life * By S . Palmer . 2 vols . 12 mo . Longman and Co . IS 06 .
