be found in every rank of society , even ia Caesar ' s household . 3 rdly . This Society by its influence has done great good to ourselves as a body ; it has animated us into life and action ; it has united , strengthened and edified us ; it has given scope to
our zeal , talents and knowledge . For these it has opened a wide field of honourable exertion . Besides bringing more forward on the canvas individual characters of great and acknowledged power and excellence , it has called forth much latent talent
and virtue , which would otherwise have remained in obscurity and been unknown . Its wide and active benevolence is such , that the smile of friendship * the voice of encouragement , and timely aid , are now every where seen and heard and met with .
And now , the enlightened and pious Christian ; , who is willing and capable of doing good in his master ' s service , will not want encouragement and support . Whether in the east or in the west , in the north or in the south ; whatever be his clime or complexion
or condition , he need no longer repine unnoticed and unaided in hopeless obscurity ; he is invited to become a fellow-citizen with the saints , and to join the household of God . —In conclusion , I feel perfectly satisfied with the part which I have taken in the rise and progress of the Unitarian Fund , I am thankful to Divine Providence
for its great success . May its care and blessing constantly attend its future course ; may it long continue to advocate the cause of truth and charity , of liberality , candour and benevolence , until the knowledge of the Lord shall fill the world , and the will of God be clone on earth , as it is in heaven !

Sir , T would be really very advantageous Ito English readers of American Unitarian publications , if some plan eould be devised by which a more regular and ready supply of these works could be obtained .

as the supply thus obtained has been , think it cannot have escaped the observation of many of your readers that very great benefit has resulted from their exertions in this way .
Many most beautiful and interesting tracts and sermans have been reprinted and circulated among us , and I can bear strong testimony to the general interest and pleasure derived from this
acquaintance with the writings and modes of thinking among our American brethren . But with regard to the religious periodicals , it is so difficult to obtain from booksellers , attention to our orders , that the matter is almost given up in despair . It
would seem that Liverpool is the station at which they could be most readily received , and from which they could be forwarded to different parts of the kingdom . But unless publicity were given to any transactions of this sort , it could not be worth a
bookseller s while to import the books in question . It has ever appeared to me that to do this effectually should be the act of a society , not of an individual . Could a small sum from our Unitarian funds be better employed than in aiding to disseminate these
useful and valuable books ? It might surely be worth our while to appoint some agent either in London or Liverpool , whose office might be distinctly known , and to defray the expenses of printing catalogues of such publications as he may import .
If any of your readers can suggest a plan by which the object of obtaining these American books readily may be facilitated , they would confer a real benefit upon the community . E . r-t Sir

, HEAR that church-divines , especi-I ally those strangely called " Evangelical , ' are trying to retrieve the credit of this miserable forgery , and I see advertised an Essay upon it designed for its vindication . Now it occurs to me that the Unitarians should
publisli some cheap works on the subject , and for a beginning let me recommend the " Notes on the Creed of Athanaaius , " in the 1 st vol . of the old or 4 to . Unitarian Tracts .
