    racter given it by the Editor of the New Annuall $ egi $ ter 9 € t An ingenious , liberal essay , worthy of atteutive perusal , " ( although there are interspersed one or two singular opinions , of the correctness of which I have my doubts , ) that last year , when I was on

    a visit to my friend ^ I recommended to him to publish a new edition ; observing , that it was likely to obtain attention , corning from such a quarter , from many persons who would not attend to the subject when handled by heretical Dissenters . It surprised me , on conversing with the author ,

    to find that he had read very few of the treatises which had been published on the subject , and had never heard , till I informed him , of the celebrated tract of Jeremy White ' s ; so that his reasonings were almost entirely the workings of his own mind : several of his observations were , to me , equally original and ingenious .

    It may , probably , further gratify your Correspondent Brevis ? to be informed , that Dr . Brown is the author of several other works , two of which have been recently published . The first , An Attempt towards n New JH&-torical and Political Explanation of

    the Book of Revelation ; or an Analytical Interpretation of the Allegorical Phenomena of the Revelation of St John , founded in facts , and the Course of Society avbd Empire , from the commencement of History to the Present Time , in one volume , 8 vo . This is indeed an extraordinary performance .

    I told my friend , soon after he favoured me with a copy , that as to several of his interpretations , I was on the present , as on former occasions with other commentators on this mysterious , but I firmly believed , inspired book , out of my depth ; but that I had never before read a comment upon it , with which I was so much entertained and

    edified . This work displays considerable talents , and many passages are written with great energy and eloquence ; at abounds with excellent reflections on the corruptions of political And ecclesiastical governments ,

    the horrors of that disgrace of the world in general , and of the Christian world ( as it is called ) in particular , war , mid on the nature and importance of civil and religious Jijberty . The Appendix , No . I- A Concise Historical Z < kdwii&n of the Proportionf that A $ -
