    as with the promised glory which awaits fidelity in well "doing . With this spirit , my friend , may you be able to fulfil your ministry ! And may God give you many seals of yourfaithful service ! * I will endeavour , by the earliest opportunity of which I can avail myself , to send you my semi-annual reports . Several of my reports , —I believe more than half of them ,--are out of print , and are not to be had , but from a few individuals who have kept , and will give away the jr sets . lam greatly desirous : that ouiLmiriis . tr _ yLsh . ould ^ hecorn fi _ fj f--- ^

    recognized medium of communication between the great classes of the rich and poor , for the diffusion of a correct knowledge of each other , and for the excitement of truly Christian sympathies between them . Much may be done in this work by our reports . We have opportunities of following back pauperism and crime to their springs and causes , which no others have . We may open and read the souls ^ pf the poor and criminals , as no others can ; for there is no access to the dark corners of the human heart , but through the sympathy of Christian

    love ; of personal interest in the individual , inspired by Christian affection for him as our brother . And we may explain differences , obviate difficulties , and reconcile apparent oppositions of interest , not only where books , written for the ^ e purposes , could avail but little , but where tHe authors who write on these subjects but very partially comprehend the subjects of which they write most confidently . I congratulate you upon the new era . which is opening upon England—yes , and upon the world ,- —by the light in which Miss Martineau is holding

    up the great principles of political economy and of social morality . There -is indeed--a 7 ^ Hridple-of-0 hrist . ian ^ oiiticaI ~ economy ; "whrchvns ^ far as I know , has not yet been distinctly announced and vindicated ; I mean the principle , that the end of God in the organization of human society with reference to all the circumstances of the unequal distribution of wealth , and equally of all other earthly possessions and endowments , is virtue— -universal virtue—the soul ' s supreme good ;

    an end infinitely higher than any which earthly ambition , or the mere cupidity of wealth ever dreamt of . But I must close this long lettext ' I beg of you to communicate freely with me , and to give me all the knowledge which you can of the state of society among you , in reference to our objects . I sent my reports , and a letter , a long time ago , to Mr , Philp , in London ; and am much disappointed not to have heard from him ; ¦ -

    Be" assured , dear sir , of the Christian affection of your friend , fellow labourer , and brother , J . TUCKERMAN . ' Letters to John Howard , Esq . of Itvpon , author of ( Necessity of the Trinity / by Thomas Thrush . C . Fox , 67 , Paternoster How , pp . 24 . . We are very glad to meet this gentleman again in print . He is one of the few noble-minded who can because they will sacrifice interest to principle .
