LITERATUR The Entire Works of the lieu. Robert Ilan, 4.3 f. 001.3. Trade. Po:allele! and Afiseeflatworm Hot.oswoeii u and BALL. We hail with sincere pleasure the appearance of a complete edition of the works of one of the most eloquent preachers and profound thinkers tint ever adorned the Christian pulpit. The first tract in this valuable volume is the i celebrated reply to the 11ev. John Clayton, entitled! Christianity consistent with a Love of Freedom This severe castigation was called forth by the time serving and bigotted sentiments contained in 1 sermon preached by Mr. Clayton, at the Klub Weigh-house, East Cheap, on the disgraceful riot at Birmingham in 1791. Our readers will, we: are confident, peruse with delight the following splendid passage in defence of Dr. Priestley : " The occasion of the sermon, and complexion l of iii sentiments, concur in directing us to Doctor Priestley—a person whom the author seems to regard with a more than odium theologicsem, with a rancour exceeding the measure even of his pro fession. The religious tenets of Dr. Priestley ap pear to me to be erroneous in the extreme ; but I should be lorry to suffer any difference of senti ment to diminish my sensibility to virtue, or my admiration of genius. From him the poisoned arrow will fall pointless. His enlightened and ac tive mind, his unwearied assiduity, the extent of his researches, the light he has poured into almost every department of science, will bo the admira tion of that period, when the greater part of those who have favoured, of those who have opposed him, will be alike forgotten. Distinguished merit will ever rise superior to oppression, and will draw lustre from reproach. The vapours which gather round the rising sun, and follow it in its course, seldom fail at the close of it to form a magnificent theatre for its reception, and to invest with variegated tints, and with a softened efful gence, the luminary which they cannot bide."— p. 28. A reviewer in the Christian Guardian having attacked Mr. Hall for this just praise of Doctor Priestley, the liberal author defended himself as follows : " Another head of accusation is, that I have censured the character of Bishop Horsley, whose character the reviewer tells us, ' is far removed beyond my attack, while I have eulogised Doctor Price and Doctor Priestley, Socinians.' —To this it is sufficient to reply, that Dr. Price was not a Socinian, but an Arian ; he wrote pro- 1 fessedly in confutation of Socinianism; and though I disapprove of his religious principles, I feel no hesitation in affirming, in spite of the frantic and unprincipled obese of Burke, that a more ardent and enlightened' friend of his country never lived, than that venerable patriarch of freedom. Doctor Priestley, it is acknowledged, was a Socinian ; but it was not under that character that be was eulo gised. It was as the friend of liberty, the victim of intolerance, and the author of some of the most bril liant philosophical discoveries of modern times, for which he was celebrated throughout Europe,and his name enrolled as a member of the most illustrious institutions; so that my eulogy was but a mere feeble echo of the applause which resounded from every civilized portion of the globe. And are we soddenly fallen back into the darkness and igno rance of the middle ages, during which the spell of a stupid and unfeeling uniformity bound the na tions {when slumbers, that it has become a crime to prelim a man for talents which the whole world admired, and for virtoes which his enemies con fessed, merely because his religious creed was er roneous? If any thing could sink orthodoxy into contempt, it would be its association with such gothic barbarity of sentiment, such reptile mean ness."—p. 186. This powerful defence of religious and political freedom closes with the following animated pero ration; and which is certainly as applicable to the existing state of things as to those which more immediately occasioned it : " Had he known to apply the remark with which his address commences, on the utility of accommodating instruction to the exigence of the times, he would have been aware, that this is not a season for drawing off the eyes of mankind from political objects. They were, in fact, never turned towards them with equal ardour ; and we may venture to affirm, they will long continue to take that direction.— An attention to the political aspect of the world, is not now the fruit of an idle curiosity, or the amuse ment of a dissipated and frivolous mind ; but is awakened and kept alive by occ irrences as va rious as they are extraordinary. There are times when the moral world seems to stand still ; there are others when it seems impelled towards its goal, with an accelerated force. The present is a period more interesting, ' perhaps, than any which has been known in the whole Hight of time. The scenes of Providence thicken upon us so fast, and are shifted e ith so strange a rapidity, as if the great drama of the world were drawing to a close: Evt;nts have taken phice, of late, and revolutions have been effected, which had they been fore told a very few years ago, would have been viewed as visionary and extravagant ; and their influence is yet far fro e being spent.. Europe never presented such a spectacle before, it is worthy of being contemplated, with the pro foundest attention, by all its inhabitants. The em ! , pire of darkness and despotism has been smitten with a stroke which has sounded through the uni-: ' ' T erse. When 'we see wto!e kingdoms, eller re : , posing for centurion ort the lap of their riders, start . froze their slumber, the dignity of man rising nit from depression, and Tints trembling op theft. thrones ! ' who can repgii .. entirely iptlifferent, of fail 'to turn his eye'tbwards a theatre so august and extraordinary! These are a kind of throes and struggles of nature , . llenness to refus e out site break ing up ; newt which have been long most sublime refinement policy which age hay' which power bath supported, conspired to embellish, felling fast into deca; lag on every side, extent, as to stretch most enlightened observt " Some beneficial place already, sufficient osu sanguine hope of benefit The mischief and folly stood, and that mild adopted, which has ever prayer to the humane hitherto remained t binets of princes. ' Ail yields to the impression terbbjects which it con templates often, we need not wonder, if, amidst events so extraordinary, the human character itself should appear to be altering and improving apace. That fond attachment to ancient institutions, and blind submission to opinions already received, which has ever checked the growth of improve ment, and drawn on the greatest benefactors of mankind danger or neglect, is giving way to a spirit of bold and fearless investigation. Man seems to be becoming more erect and independent. He leans more on himself, less on his fellow-creatures. He 'begins to feel a consciousness in a higher d g-et of personal dignity, and is less enamoured of arti ficial distinctions. There is some hope of our be holding that simplicity and energy of character which marks his natural state, blended with the humanity, the elegance, and improvement of po lished society. " The events which have already taken place, and the further changes they forebode, will open t, the contemplative of every character, innumerable sources of reflection. To the philos tpher they pre sent many new and extraordinary fats, where his tration will find ample scope in attempting t 3 ver their cause, and to predict their effects. He will have an opportunity of viewing mankind In an interesting situation, and of tracing the progress of opinion through channels it has rarely flowed in before. The politician will feel his attention powerfully awakened, on seeing new maxims of policy introduced, new in stitutions established, and such a total alteration in the ideas of a great part of the world, as will oblige him to study the art of government as it were afresh. The devout mind will behold in these momentous changes the finger of Goa, and, dis cerning in them the dawn of that glorious pe riod, in which wars will cease and anti-christian tyranny shall fall, will adore that unerringWisiorn, whose secret operation never fails to conduct all human affairs to their proper issue, and impels the great actors on that troubled theatre, to fulfil, when they least intend it, the counsels of heaven, and the predictions of its prophets." —p. 56. 2. An Apology for the Freedom of the Press. This spirited production was originally published in 1793, and has been frequently reprinted. It merits a place by the side of Milton's famous Arcvagitica ; equally teeming with dignified eloquence, it is su perior to that noble piece of orate y in precision, perspicuity, and closeness of reasoniag. The third section, which treats of Parliamentary , Reform, will be attentively read at this mom mrtoas crisis. We make a few extracts, from which it will be seen, that Mr. Hall was decidedly in favour of &u -sual parliaments. " On the propriety of the several plans which have been proposed to remedy these_ evils, it is nut for me to decide ; I shall choose rat her to point out two general principles which ought, in my opinion, to pervade every plan of Parliamentary reform; the first of which respects the male of election, 'the second, the independence of the elected. In order to give the people a true repre sentation, let its basis be enlarged, and the Jura • tion of Parliaments shortened. The first of these improvements would diminish bribery and corruption, lesson the violence and tumult of elections, and secure to 11.1 people a real and unequivocal organ for the expression of their sentiments. Were every householder in town and country permitted to vote, the number of electors would be so great, that as no art or industry would be able to bias their minds, so no sums of money would be sufficieot to win their suffrages. But besides this, another great improvement, i n my opinion, would be, to shorten the duration of Parliaments, by bringing it back to one year. p. 107. Speaking of the Septennial Act, he says : Without disputing the upright intentions of the authors of this act, it is plain, they might, on the same principle, have voted themselves per petual, and their conduct will ever rem in a monument of that short-sightedness in politics, which, in providing for the pressure of the moment, puts to hazard the liberty and happiness of future times. It is intolerable, th it in so large a space of a man's life as seven years, he should never be able to correct the error be any have committed in the choice of a representative, but be compelled to see him every year dipping deeper into corruption, a helpless spectator of the contempt of his interests, and the ruin of his country. During the present period of Parlia ments a nation may sustain the greatest possible 'hinges f may descend by a succession of ill cows- eels, from the highest pinnacle of its fortunes to the' lowest point of depiession ; its treasure ex hausted, its credit sunk, and its weight almost com pletely annihilated in the scale of empire. Ruin and felicity are seldom dispensed by the same band, nor is it likely any succour in calamity should flow from the wisdom and virtue of those by whose folly and wickedness it was ineicted."— p. 107. Viurions other pieces Allow equally deserving attentive perusal, but which our coufined limits will not permit us to particularize.
