LETTERS FROM AN EMINENT PRELATE, (Dr. Warburton) to one of his Friends, (Dr. Hurd.)

"Si imagines nobis amicorum absentium jucundae sunt, quae memoriam renovant, et desiderium absentiac falso atque inani solatio levant; quanto jucundiores sunt literae, quae vera amici absentis vestigia, veras notas afferunt?" Sen. Ep. XL. "Les lettres des hommes celebres sont, ordinairement, la partie la plus curieuse de leur ecrits." Pref. a l'Hist. de Jovien, p. 50.

Entry on a blank page in the front of five Port-Folios, containing the originals of these letters. "These letters give so true a picture of the writer's character, and are, besides, so worthy of him in all respects, (I mean, if the reader can forgive the playfulness of his wit in some instances, and the partiality of his friendship in many more) that, in honour of his memory, I would have them published after my death, and the profits arising from the sale of them, applied to the benefit of the Worcester Infirmary. R. Worcester."

ANAN.

TWO SERMONS, delivered at Trinity Church, on Christmas-day and Trinity-Sunday, on the DIVINITY OF JESUS CHRIST. By J. S. J. GARDINER, rector. In the advertisement to the latter of these sermons, the author says, "As the Unitarians are taking great pains to diffuse their tenets, and as many may be misled by their confident assertion, that no man of sense ever believed in the Trinity, I have thought that it might prove useful to show, that the greatest writers of the English nation, both in prose and poetry, have borne testimony to their faith in this sacred mystery. With those, who have neither leisure nor capacity to study the subject, the authority of these great names certainly ought to have considerable weight. For why should such men refuse to acquiesce in the belief of a doctrine maintained by the great majority of christians, and cordially embraced by the first-rate philosophers and scholars ?"
