    considering it as a mere republication of natural religion ! Those influences and that power they have never experienced . We must lament it , equally for themselves and for society at large , which would have profited by the entrance of these purifying and exalting

    influences into their deepest retireipents . We cannot so far compromise the supreme dignity of religion , as to wish that minds of this class were religious , for Poetry $ sake . But it must always be a source of thankfulness ,

    that when we have spoken of the duty , the value , the necessity of religion , we h $ ve not said all .. We are permitted to proceed a step farther—to talk of its beauty , its sublimity—to point to it as the fountain of ever new and ever

    Give me leave to suggest , in reference to the P , S . ( p . 18 ) , that them appears bo little danger that the objections to anonymous signatures , should be carried among your eorre ^ spondents , to an extent not the most friendly to the prosperity of a periodical work .
