      Account of Mr . William Christiey late of Montrose , now of Phila - delphia : Written by Himself [ Extracted from the Preface of" Dissertations on the Unity of God , &c . " lately published by him at Philadelphia ; and to be concluded in our next . ]

      It is now twenty-four years since I published the first edition of my Discourses on the Divine Unity ^ SfC . ( a work \ ery different from the present ) at Montrose , in Scotland , in the year 1784 . * Though this edition had the misfortune to be very badly printed , yet it was very well received in England > and all the copies I sent to London were disposed of in a short space of time . This treatise not only gave satisfaction to all ray Unitarian friends

      ? The title of this work at full length in the jirst edition was " Discourses on the Divine Unity : or , a Scriptural Proof and Demonstration of the One Supreme Deity of the God and Father of all : and of the Subordinate Character and Inferior Nature of our Lord Jesus Christ ; with

      strong terms ; and 1 have as many letters by me from them alone , as would fill a considerable pamphlet . Among those , strangers to rne who wrote me on this occasion , the most remarkable were , the late learned Dr . Harwood , the lp , te venerable and excellent Mr . Mort , of Chowbent , near Wigan Lan ~ cashire , and a Clergyman of the Church of England .

      Some time before I h ^ ard from Dr . Harwood , my late ingenious nephew , Thomas Christie , who afterwards wrote on the French Revolution and on othertopics , had written him on the subject of his View of the various Editions of the Greek and Latin Classics , which circumstance occasioned the

      confusion of persons which appears in

      * Thisalludc 9 to , the late Rev . Caleb Rotheram , then dissenting minister at Kendal , an amiable and deserving person , and a nephew of the late learned Dr . Benson * ' who visited me at Montrose , on particular business in August , 1781 , about the time that the society of Unitarian Christians

      was formed there , whom I afterwards saw at Kendal on my return from London and Birmingham , in the year 1783 ,. and who was pleased to approve of the * Discourses on the Divine Unity , ' whet * they made their appearance .
