Were all the Clergy to tread in the steps of this worthy Divine, sure I am, that Sectaries would no longer have reason to boast of the progress they are making. It must, however, be allowed, that the Clergy are of late much more vigilant and active at their posts, and that such conduct has produced very beneficial effects. In the emphatical language of Holy Writ, they have done as they are commanded, and yet there is room. There is another thing to be observed, which perhaps tends more to the prejudice of the Church of England than any one thing that cau possibly be named, and that is, the want of brotherly love and affection amongst her Ministers *. This does more real disservice to the Establishment than is generally thought, or indeed than can easily be imagined. For the Laity naturally conceive that there cannot be much genuine religion in that society, the professed members of which have so little brotherly love and affection among themselves. Their hauteur is no where more. observable than at their Visitations. The inferior Clergy upon such occasions are scarcely noticed, even in the Church; but out of the Church it is entirely out of the question. There is at such times a sumptuous dinner provided, at which the Chancellor, or the Archdeacon, as the case may be, with a few of his friends, beneficed Clergy, assemble at such expense that the inferior part of thein, the poor Curates, are effectually excluded from partaking of the entertainment. Nor have I perceived the least disposition on the part of these Dignitaries to lessen the bill upon those occasions, so that the beneficed and unbeneficed might meet together in a friendly and social manner, become acquainted with each other, be edified by exchange of sentiment, and encouraged by mutual admonitions to carry on with zeal and assiduity * Our worthy Correspondent must have been particularly unfortunate, as, we hope and trust, there can be rarely a cause for such a complaint. EDIT. the great work of their Apostleship. Can it be any diminution to the dig. nity of the superior Clergy to admit the inferior part of that body to a familiarity with them, to call upon them, and invite them occasionally to their tables? On the contrary, would not such conduct exalt them in the opinion of the world, and add a lustre to their character? When the senior Clergy observe so much distance towards the junior, where are the latter, in a dilemma respecting some part of their duty, to seek for advice, if the former by their distant manner seem unwilling to give them any? There is nothing so becoming as to see brethren professing the same Religion living together in love and unity. We admire that harmony and affection subsisting among the different sects of Dissenters. It is to this bond of mutual love, union, and charity, by which they are so strongly connected together, that they owe not only the rapid growth of their respective tenets, but the very existence of their societies. They have their monthly, their quarterly, and yearly associations, wherein they meet punctually, to encourage one another, and to repeat their professions of zeal and resolution to support both their doctrine and their Ministers, both by personal and pecuniary aid. Here indeed Dissenters are an ex ample to the Members of the Established Church. What would be the result of a conduct of the same nature on the part of the Churchmen, it is no difficult matter to anticipate. I would venture to assert that, in a very short space of time, the number of Sectaries would visibly diminish. Their Sectarian principles would imperceptibly die away, and they would slide into the Church almost without their being conscious of the change. The body of Christ would be whole and without rent; and all the ends, at least of the British Isle, would become one fold under one shepherd. CLERICUS ECCLESIE ANGLICANE. few weeks since, I designated him as born at Coleshill, in Bucks. Coles hill, as I have since seen, is in Hertfordshire; and I presume your Correspondent proceeds on the authority of his Epitaph which says, "Edmundus Waller, cui hoc marmor sacrum est, Colshill nascendi locum habuit," &c. BYRO, no doubt, considered his authority as good, but I think Buckinghamshire has a stronger claim, and a better: Aubrey, in his life of Waller (with whom he was well acquainted), says "that he was born at Beaconsfield, in Bucks, in the fair bricke house, the farthest on the left hand, as you go to Wickham." Captain Edward Hamden, his relation, told Aubrey that "he was borne in the parish of Agmundesham (Amersham) in Buckinghamshire, at a place called Winchmore Hill, which was sold by his father, and which he had a very great desire to have bought again, not long before his death, but the owner would not sell it. Whichever of the accounts above you may prefer, they both seem to be of better authority than his epitaph; for we know not by whom it was written; BYRO's foundation appears to me to be but slender, but if he has any other reason to give, I should like to see it through the medium of your Magazine. Yours, &c. Mr. URBAN, A J. TITTANSEL. Dec. 20. RECENT Criticism upon Mr. Robert Owen's Address to the Sects, Classes, and Parties of the British Empire, concludes by reminding us that Ammonius of Egypt had the reverie of melting down all sects of religion and philosophy into one mass, keeping the gold and getting rid of the dross." This allusion, notwithstanding it was intended to convey an unfavourable opinion of the practical result of Mr. Owen's labours, metaphorically describes the course which I conceive that eminent philanthropist has actually pursued. If he has not, like " Ammonius, had the reverie of boiling down all sects of religion and philosophy," he has yet managed to separate the gold from the dross, and, in imitation of the great Father of experimental philosophy, has, after long and ar duous study, and nearly thirty years of practical experience in political economy, formed a combination of principles all in unison with each other, and calculated to promote the best interests of mankind. If politics had been earlier understood as a science, that period would have been distinguished by the termination of the disputes of party, and the maxims of Government would thenceforward have become invariable. Human nature possessing the same general qualities at birth all over the globe, that system of training which is the best for one nation, is the best for all. Hitherto when any attempt has been made to assimilate the laws of one country with those of another, it has been urged, that regard should be had to the dissimilarity in the genius of the people. Nor was this caution unreasonable; for, although the foundations of the European communities were laid in resemblance to each other, yet the an age of darkness, and bore a strong alterations that have since taken place were made at various periods in each, according to different degrees of advancement towards civilization, and in the acquisition of knowledge; and were in part the effect of contingent circumstances. Hence the diversity of character among Europeans. History informs us, that under the feudal system, the German, the Gaul, and the Briton exhibited the same character, and when we contrast the inhabitants of Turkey and of modern Italy with the ancient Greeks and Romans, climate does not appear to have any influence in the formation of character which the institutions of a country cannot counteract. However generally this truth may be admitted, the important benefits that would result from its practical application in forming new and comprehensive arrangements have been comparatively unknown. But unless mankind in general were sufficiently enlightened as to be induced to act upon correct principles, how, it may be asked, can we effect a change so extensive as this view of the subject seems to contemplate, without endangering the social system altogether? and even an endeavour to graft any of these principles upon the existing state of society might so disarrange our institutions as to occasion some Baldwin 359.
