and another, in English, 319; psalm
rci., 320, 21; xiv., 322.

ments, in reply to Rev. H. Stowell,
277.

Meek's reasons for attachment and con-
formity to the Church of England, 276;
author misquotes St. Paul, ib.; the per-
version of the sense of the word 'church,'
278; the established church, viewed as
a religious body, but one among several
non-established churches, ib.; does St.
Paul teach obedience to the powers that
be, in the matter of religious belief?
279; the government, by protecting,
sanctions dissenters, 280; the politician
cannot fail to appreciate their value
and importance, 281; author's 'reasons
for attachment' summarily expressed,
282, 3; he cannot conceive that any
one should fail to be convinced by them,
283; yet, he has not shown how a
mere planet can
be the centre of a
system, ib.; his reasons' further dis-
cussed, 283, 4; a curious argument for
the church, that Whitfield and Wesley,
some time back, were its ministers,
284; so were Owen, Baxter, Bates,
&c., ib.; unity is not uniformity, com-
munion conformity, nor agreement com-
pulsion, 285; how is non-conformity to
be extinguished readier now than before
the days of Whitfield and Wesley? 286;
the greater part of the present volume
consists of an indictment of the Dis-
senters, ib.; but Dissenters put forward

no such exorbitant demands as either
the Church of England, or of Rome,
287; bad spirit manifested in some
passing for evangelical clergymen, 289;
the present volume abounds in misre-
presentations, 289; example, ib.; author
cites some already refuted remarks of

sents Mr. Binney, 291, 2.

Pratt's Act for the amendment and better

administration of the laws relating to the
Poor in England and Wales, 412; go-
vernment merits the highest praise for
this new law, ib.; its two objects, 413;
takes from the magistrate his mischiev-
ous prerogative, 414; the object of the
allowance system to keep down the rate
of wages, 415, 16; unfair that the
pauper should compete with the la-
bourer, 420; marriage by the late law
was not a security for virtue, but a re-
paration for its loss, 421; the present
act a great improvement in this respect,
422; analysis of the act, 423.

of the Congregational Union of Eng-
land and Wales, 87; all that an address
ought to be, ib.; extract, 87-90.

the broad basis of population, 61; ex-
tract, 67-9; the Establishment was in-
tended to repress the free progress of
knowledge, not to advance it, 70; to

principle, 73-5.
