    Remarks of an Unitarian Traveller . No . III . Sir , MENTIONED the importance I Mr . Wright might be of in visiting Ipswich . Thence he would proceed

    to Woodbridge , where there are many Unitarians , but who neither unite in religious worship among themselves , nor strengthen the interest by joining other Societies . At Framlingham , a congregation has long existed under the care of the venerable Toms : what

    will be the effect of his removal , whenever , in the course of Providence , it shall take place , time alone can determine . Should Mr . Wri ght make a tour in that district , Mr . Toms would be able to point out many places in Which Unitarian advocates reside , especially at Becclea and its neighbourhood , who

    jroght be encouraged to fpj-m some bond of union ; if they could only be duly impressed with the importance of that step . At Lowestoft , a flourishing society existed some years ago ,. which was supplied by the gratuitous services w a gentleman who resided in the neighbourhood- He officiated at his in to
