' s Charge o £ Partiality in the Nonconformist ' s Memorial— -and Vigilus Posthumus , in , our next number . ¦ >

    We intend , hereafter , to devote regularly a page or two of every number © four Magazine to Poetry , and shall be glad to increase the number of our poetical correspondents . This resolution we had already adopted when the remonstrance of * d Constant Reader on the subject reached us . "We are willing to concede our opinion to that of J . T . and his very respectable friend , though in doing so we wish not to be considered as retracting aiiy part of our assertion concerning the triteness and futility of the objection which J . T . so ably answers .

    A Correspondent , S . J . of Manchester , has sent us a Letter , expressing his dissatisfaction with the Review , in our Jast number , of the " Memoirs of Dr . Priestley . " We have no wish to skreen our reviewers from censure ; nor need we wish it , for the gentlemen who occasionally assume that character for us , are well able to repel censure , or if necessary to bear it ; but we need not explain the reason why we cannot engage to insert in our Maga ^ im ^ attacks upon our Revhzv > when they consist of nothing more than counter-assertions , and are besides anonymous . We may briefly observe , that our Reviewers are , as much as any other of our

    correspondents , volunteers , and that though they favour us with articles of Review , we cannot expect them to step forward , at every call , to defend them . The substance of S . J . ' s objections may be briefly stated , -and perhaps he will be satisfied with this tl early insertion" of them . He asserts , in opposition to our Reviewer , that Unitarians are sufficiently impressed with the importance of personal religion ,

    and the advantages of an early religious education , and that Unitarianism has suffered no hurt from the " fashionable intruders , " who , according to the Reviewer , * possess an impartial judgment , and are unwilling to forsake reason as their guide ; ' * and he recommends to Unitarians , instead of " narrowing , " as the Reviewer advises , " the door of admission into their churches , " to " throw them open , to admit all , to enlighten all , to improve all . " We should like to see this subject fully argued ^ and our pages arc open to S . J , or any other correspondent who * may choose to enter upon the discussion . " *
