      Whether the society , in its collective capacity , could very soon be induced to make some such alterations in the rules

      respecting marriages and tithes , as I have ventured to suggest , is not for me to determine . But I have no such apprehensions of the effect of premature discussion as Mr . Clarkson seems to have
