    Sir , July 9 , 181 9-HOMO ' S remarks on suicide , ( p . 227 , ) have reminded me of two passages , which form a striking contrast , and which 1 quote from the original accounts . The first is in " Observatipns on Wadsworth , " printed about 1692 , by Mr . Lay ton , author of " The Search after Souls / '

    mentioned in Mon . Repos . VI . 10 , SIS . That author says , at p . 124 , " The present time affords a rare example of a young , rich and otherwise happy Lord , who , by a pistol bullet , took away his own life at the Bath , meerly to rid and free himself from such sharp pains of the gout and stone , as then oppressed him /*

    The other passage is in a " Dedication to the Public , " prefixed to his " Dissertation on the unnatural Crime of Self-Murder , " by Dr . Fleming , in J 773 . He says , " Near forty years ago , I had the uncommon pleasure of reconciling a geutleman , racked with the stone , to

    a patient endurance of his painful condition ; though he had set his house in order , had formed his resolution , and fixed on the time of dispatching himself . Which persuasion , the said gentleman acknowledged , in

    * I now suspect , but do not know , that the paper , ia the same volume , signed £ tobsiclianu 3 came from tile pen of Mr . wetland .

    Brief Notes on the Bible . No . VI . " 1 VT God , my God ! why hast JLtJL Thou forsaken me ? " ( Matt , xxvih 46 , ) is the opening of the 22 d Psalm .

    Was it , inquired one of my children , quite consistent in the mouth of Jesus ? He possessed a knowledge of his impending fate , and even declared , that to the fulfilment of His mission such a consummation was

    indispensable ; which , therefore * , could be no indication that his God and Father had forsaken him * Whatever inconsistency , however , may be imputed to this invocation , it

    a letter to a worthy friend of mine , ( Dr . Benjamin Avery , ) was wrought in him , by a remonstrance I had drawn up against suicism , which wa » inserted in the Old Whig , a weekly paper . "

    In an appendix to this Dissertation , Dr . Fleming " points out the inequality of some of our penal laws which take away the life of man ;*' and has anticipated the juster views of criminal jurisprudence which are now , I lidpe , gaining some of the

    public attention . On « simple theft" he would not inflict the penalty of death , and remarks that " a neighbouringstate has wisely appointed a ' rasphouse and other severe labours , as a far more equitable and efficacious punishment . " On forgery he observes

    " If I am rightly informed , the Dutch have a far better way of punishing the criminal 5 for they cut off the first joint of his thumb , and thus render him for ever unable to commit another forgery * At the same time , this very

    maiming fixes on him a perpetual mark of disgrace ; and yet leaves him opportunity of reforming himself , and of being further serviceable to society * Th us the sagacious provident Republic are not so lavish of men ' s lives as we are . " J . O . U . P . S . Dr . F ., in his " Ingratitude of Infidelity , " 1775 , p . 40 , refers to " an anonymous pamphlet , entitled .

    The Apostles' Creed better than the Assemblies Catechism , printed 1720 , said to be by Mr . Joseph Hallet , Junior . " Does any one of y our readers possess this pamphlet , which might deserve a new edition ?
