      Happily all churchmen are not of the same spirit as the vicar of Midhurst , who tried to engage the Attorney . General in contest with Mr . Taylor , ( See Reply , &c . p 70 ); Mr , Fuflagar sets a bishop in contrast with the vicar :

      " I lately heard an anecdote of a worthy bishop in the vicinity of Norwich ' ,, which , though I cannot vouch for its authenticity , so coincides with the liberal sentiments and accurate judgment of the exalted individual , as to bear internal-evidence of its troth , or at least , that probability is not

      violated by the application One of the clergymen in his diocese went in great trepidation to inform his Lordship , that dang-erous doctrines were introduced into his parish by some enthusiastic preacher , and requested to have his diocesan ' s advice ,

      erring and guilty . As the title might lead the reader to expect , the discourse is a Concio ad Clerum , rather than ad Populnbi ; but notwithstanding its scholastic form , it contains much plain and useful truth , eloquently expressed . It abounds with just thoughts , wise counsels , and benevolent anticipations .

      Art . VIII . —Notes arid Observations on Criminal Trials . By a Juryman . 12 mo . pp . 30 . Hunter . 1819 . fTlRIAL by Jury is the palladium JL of English Jiberty , but the

      efficacy of this iiistjtuti ' Qu depends upon the intelligence and spirit of ( hose that are called to sit as jurors : the public are therefore mucii indebted to those tjiat , like the author of this

      tract , write for the information and guidance of * jurymen * These pages bear internal evidence of the author being conversant with juries ; and they are pervaded by a spirit of enlightened humanity which at once instructs and pleases the reader .

      Art . VII . Death and a Future Life considered , in a Sermon , detfcpred on Sunday evening , December 20 , 1818 , in Beaumont Street Chapel , Gainsborough , with a Vieio to the

      Improvement of some recent Melancholy Events . By Robert Little . 8 vo . pp . 20 . Stark , Gainsborough $ Richardson ,, London . Cd . THIS is a serious , sensible and interesting sermon from 1 Cor . xy \

      26 , The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death . It was suggested by " some repeated visitations of Providence" in the preacher ' s congregation , but will be inappropriate to no readers that bear in mind the law of

      mortality under which they live . We fear that we must accept this as a farewell sermon , the author being oil the point of removing to America . Whether he exercise his profession or not iu the United States , he will , we are persuaded , continue in the service of truth , and our best wishes attend him .
