CHRISTIAN's MAGAZINE: BEING An Universal Repository of Divine Knowledge. FOR NOVEMBER, 1783. BEAUTIFULLY EMBELLISHED with the following truly ELEGANT COPPER-PLATE ENGRAVINGS: [ An excellent PORTRAKT and STRIKING LIKENESS of the Right Reverend Dr. BUTLER, the prefent LORD BISHOP of OXFORD, engraved and drawn from an original Painting. 2. A North West PROSPECT of the Cathedral Church of LANDAFF.] A greater Variety of important and interefting Subjects, conveyed in a delightful Manner, than was ever given in any fimilar Publication whatever, viz. The Whole intended to promote the Caufe of PIETY and VIRTUE, and undertaken By a SOCIETY of CLERGYMEN, of the Diocese of LONDON, Who are honoured with Communications for the proper Accomplishment of their Design, from the CLERGY and others in different Parts of the Kingdom. L' O N Ꭰ 0 N: Printed for the EDITORS; and Published by ALEX. HOGG, at the King's Arms, No, 16, Paternoster-Row, by whom Letters to the EDITORS, Post paid, are received, THE HE Editors of this Magazine, being at prefent particularly favoured with communica tions from their friendly correfpondents, they are under the neceffity of requesting their indulgence for time, and, on their parts, an unavoidable delay. It was impoffible for them to notice a tenth part of the favours they received during the courfe of laft month, and, in this, the tide of literary pieces has rofe much higher. From a variety of articles, which even only to enumerate, would far exceed the limits of this fingle page, we have fe lected W. W. on the benefits of Industry An Epitaph from William Williams; Lines by Adolefcens ; A Candidate on the pleasures of Religion; A Contributor; Polybius; fiorical account of Bethlem Hofpital; Zeno; An elegant poem figned Robertfon; A Depofit; and, The poor man's friend; all which fhall have a place in our Magazine, either for this or the enfuing month. We are obliged to avail ourfelves of the above plea, in not having as yet complied with the request of the Rev. Mr. Evans, of Cardiganshire; but, according to the old proverb, "Omittance is no quittance;" and that gentleman may reft affured, it is our intention to give, when time will permit, a chearful compliancewith his juft fentiments. W. W. having promifed a continuation of his Thoughts on various fubje&s, his purfuing the fame will be an acceptable favour. His Effay on Life, &c. will be duly noticed. We are at a lofs to determine upon the feveral Latin lines which have poured in from va rious quarters. It is our earnest inclination to oblige every one; but the Utile," the one thing needful," is what we chiefly regard. The challenge of Moskcai cannot be accepted. By a flight recollection he will perceive, feveral candidates have entered the lift before him, and the combat for fame has been sufficiently decided. The clue from W. H. is not fufficient to deliver us from the labyrinth of uncertainty in which we are at prefent, with refpect to his wishes. If that gentleman will draw up his fentiments, which may be a fufficient ground for us to form an opinion, he will find we are ready to do him justice. Longinus is quite fingular in his opinion; different fentiments prevailed long before the council of Nice; and his ideas on the subject of his pen are entirely without foundation. The Differtation of Parmenio abounds with matter, and is very prolix, but it is neither original, nor placed in any new point of light. Antiquarius has favoured us with a curiofity for our department of Chriftian antiquities, which, we are perfuaded, would not afford the leaft entertainment to the bulk of our rea ders, who cannot have time to examine into " The mouldy records of their forefathers." It is our fixed determination to have nothing to do with Mr. Madan, nor his principles of feduction ; our fole ambition is, to do as much good as we can, with as little bustle as poffible. There is, we confess, much ingenuity in the arguments of Inquifiter, in fupport of an Arhian doctrine; but they are not ftrong enough to convince; and we have openly profeffed rfelves to be no friends to the romantic votaries of fingularity and loose principles. We defire to be excufed engaging in the controverfy between the Reviewers and Dr. Priestley the former are able to maintain their ground, and the latter, in our opinions has been much more noticed than his abfurd criticisms, and corruptions of Christianity de ferve. In our next a Portrait and Memoirs of the Bishop of Chichester; and a celebrated Hymn from the Oratorio of Saul, composed by Mr. Handel. |
