    concise appellation to distinguish them from busy traders and idle gentlemen , I have taken rather a circuitous course to make some inquiries suggested by the following title-page of a small volume now before me .

    " A perfect Abridgment of the Eleven Books of Reports of the Reverend and Learned Knight Sir Edward Cook , sometimes Chief Justice of the Upper Bench . Originally written in French , by Sir John Davis , sometimes Attorney-General in Ireland . Done into English . " London , 1651 ,

    You w ill observe that this Abridgment was published during the Commonwealth . Can any of your readers , learned in the law , inform me whether legal dignitaries were then first denominated reverend , or if they still claim the title ? In that case the present remote successor of Sir Edward

    Cook should be described not only as the noble and learned , but also , or rather imprimis , as the reverend Lord Ellenborough , while the Chief Justice of Chester , the present Attornev-General mav , without our incurring the charge of garrulity , be also stiled reverend , PLEBEIUS . —« g ^ M»—

    7 S On the Title Reverend—applied to Lawyers

    Sir , Jan 6 , 1815 , TTT is well known that a titular JL sanctity is ascribed , in a regular gradation , to the established clergy .

    From the lowiy deacon to the prebendary they are simply Reverend . The dean is Very Reverend * the bishop Right Reverend , and , to finish the climax , the archbishop is Most Reverend and His Graee .

    There is another description of Christian ministers who , I trust , generally regard it as their highest distinction , to have been appointed by their brethren to preside in their assemblies , and to promote their religious improvement . Yet such also

    allow themselves to be styled Reverend , thus copying , not very consistently , their Presbyterian ancestors , who indeed were champions of Religious Liberty , according to their partial historians , Calamy , Neal and Palmer , but were only priests writ

    large according to Milton , who spake what he knew and testified what he had seen . Of this latter description of Christian ministers there is , however , I atn ^ persuaded , a large and increasing number who , would chearfully disencumber themselves of the title Reverend , could they find another

    Sir , Jan . 31 , 1315 . OINCE I communicated to you the O Notes on the Life of Priestley , a friend has reminded me of a circumstance which ought to have been

    mentioned , in connexion with the name ot Hartley , as shewing that Priestley had been his correspondent . This appears by the following passage in the " Letters to a Philosophical Unbeliever . " Pt . J . p . 71 .

    " As the pains and mortifications of our infant state are the natural means of lessening the pains and mortifications of advanced life ; so I made it appear to the satisfaction of Dr . Hartley , in the short correspondence I had with him , that his theory fu r-

    nishes pretty fair presumptions , that the pains of this life may suffice for the whole of our future existence ; we having now resources enow for a perpetual increase in happiness , without any assistance from the sensation of future pain , "

    This correspondence must have been early in the life of Priestley , probably while he resided at Needham Market , as Hartley died in 1757 . # Ho
