      To the Editor of the Monthly Repository .

      Blrminghain , Q , J JDeC . i 8 io * Sir , In the Eclectic Review for April last , P » 33 B , occurs the following paragraph

      in . a note . .. < . . .- " Samuel CRELLius ^ was a S . acinian . apd a leader of that party . He is still quoted as one of their strongest , advq- ( cates : but tKe endless- mercy pf our ' Lord was also manifest in him . / - He ^

      npt only rejoiced to , see ; his , daughters how their knees to tj * e crucified ; -but he himself turned to the Lord , called upon hint as his LordEand his God , and found at the end of his life no < : dnsoktion but in the atonement by the blood * of Jesus , . and wished that all his books could die with him . This has been testified , not only by his daughters , but by a > Ll who * were with him before his end . "

      A note by the late JReit . B . Latrobe tb Crantscs History rf the JMorainan Brttbwen . It is easy to perceive with What view , the w ^ tser , in the Eclectic Review , ' has given the public the above quotation . But in order to it& carrying any weight with it , the fact must be established . As the character of Samuel Crellius was eminenty I am induced to offer to the public some documents concerning him

      and his death , from which : it may be judged with * what propriety . he is called a Socmian and with what correctness and truth the circumstance % of his death

      are stated in * the ^ bove paragraph . The statement of Latrobe , adopted by Orantz , and re-pubjished l > y the Eclectic Reyjew t appears ^ to have its origin in a misapprehension ' of SarfYiief Crellius ' s sentiments .

      The . learned Mosheirrr says , that " Crellius , though he was a professor of theology amongst the ^ Spcinians , yet differed iri his opinions , about many points

      of doctrine , from the setftimerits of Socinus and the Racovian Catechism , and would not be called a Socinian but an Artemonitcy from Artemon , who lived under the reign of the emferor Severus , and denied the pre-existence of Jesus Christ * ' »

      X will only add , that Back , from whom the following narrative is translated , is a "Trinitarian . If any of your readers receive information or entertainment from it , they will not regret that the representation given . o £ the subject of it in . the Eclectic has appearecj ; and wilk perhaps , feel some smaik degree of obligation to your and . their friend and servant , J osjuta Toulmin .
