The hist is an extraordinary performance, little known ; written with great temper, good sense, and spirit ; and has the qualities of a regular compo sition." And in another Letter, dated August 16, 1753, he says:— " May's History of the Parliament is a just composition, according to the rules of History. It is written with much judgment, pene tr a tion, manliness, and spirit ; and with a candour ;hat will greatly increase your esteem, when you understand that he wrote by the order of his Masters, the Par !lament.

I<ENOVATEI) HEALTH. TT has been too frequently the subjeti of just and I. general reprobation, that iron destitute ofthe elements of the medical art have offered thentselves as cadtlidates for public pat ronage in the prott-ssion of physic. For the purpose of doing Justice to the result of our studies and experience, to prevent us front being classed among those empirics whose • imprudent pretensions have, unfOrtunately foi - society; been toolavourably received, we beg leave to submit to the liberal and enlightened a faithful stateinent - of our pursuits and ac quirements. After having received a regular medical educa tton the .pupils of Messrs. Grindeli and Blizard, whose ledures and practice we•carefully attended, as professors and surgeons of the London' Hospital; we entered ourselves as students in that justly celebrated school for medical acquire ment, the Royal College of Edinburgh, and were instructed in the different branches of anatomy,,surgery, the theory and radice of physic, chemistry, midwifery, botany, &e. &c, by those eminent professors, i)rs., Moons, Gregory, Black, Hamilton, Duncan and RutherfOrd. We trust we shall not be deemed presumptuous in saying that our proficiency and acquirements are not inconsiderable. Having for along series di years made Venereal Complaints, and the various disease: of Debility, the particular objectof our studies and practice, it will, we hope, be allowed that we have acquired superior knowledge of their treatment and cure. In slight and recent cases of Thledion a perfect re-establishment is completed in the short period of two days ;, and in those of ;the utmost in veteracy, where other praditiont . rs have • failed of success, a proper perseverance in our plan of treatment ensures to the patient a safe and miical cure. Amidst the melancholy variety of disorders which arc the effects of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by tht youth of both SeXes,-til3re are none more alarming or more distressing than those deficiencies and debilities which fre quently prevent or embitter the matrimonial state. To such persons it must be a consolation to know that they may now, byai new and infallible mode of treatment, be ,restored to that greatest of all human blessings, --a - strong, manly, and vigor ous constitution. In all eases from whatever cause arising, as well as in every species of venereal intention, we may be consulted by patients of either sex with the great est secrecy and honour.

But, waving all • fintlier argumont .lion on she questton . of tiglu, I shall proceed to consider it : 4s a (.vistion of policy, in dolog shall tioti;:e tile-, several teasom aci - vanced by the Petiti-ners to the Legillitture ,to think tilt.) , may accede - to !Lc... Prayer of theiPetit',on, wiihout the 'Constitution.; and as..l go along, 'I shall eitckavour Io refute them. One of those reasons which 'first occurs, and on which they lay. much •stiels, is that wherein they • state that, in point of pllsical nymbers, theplar exceed the Protestants ; and that those iats , ,s a 11 , 01 operate to their exclusion ,front ad the be;. t tr i or oio Con•rtiltliiol,, .;10 titjtist and scvete, and therefore ought to be ; epealed.—However rlausible this argument may, at firs!, appear, it will be seen, on reflection, to b: aslalse as it is futile.---It is true, before the Union, it might have had its weight, when England and Ireland were two separate king doms, but since their incorvration, the Protestant Church, in both having become thereby identified, their reasoning falls to the ground ; •for, instead of reckoning with the Petitioners one million., of Pro testants (the . number they allow us in Ireland),to six millions of Roman Catholics, we are to add the Protestants . ot Great: Britain, and then the scale wduld preponderate in our 'favour, att . (' our physicals woLld . more than double theirs. Another ground on which they I ly claim to the indolgence, ( or rather, as they tel s it, tie justice of the Legislature, is,,that whilst they ask for the'en joyMent of political rights,, , and the exerLise of poli tical power,, in common with the Protestants,. they do not desire to trespass on, or interfere whit the ecclesiastical, end, of cOurse, that.the Coureh.coi.ild be brought into no danger by the concession.. Num this I tot-illy deny; , for the Church and the State are so connected, fortunately so interwoven, they ',mist stand or fall together ; and if it should e, et happe.n, s.vlich God forbid, that the Roman Catholics l!oulti . , obtain a footing in the State, will any' Irian brso credulous as Iti suppose they would not endeavour 'to use their political power to the subversion of tho .ecclesiastical'? If they did otherwise, they would act a part differing - from what they have, .ever do s pe; wh , never opportunity offered for its exercise. With the present illustrious race that now grace the throne, there would be as much security in ac quiescing in t base. demands, as the nature of Ina case would admit ; but the Legislature_ is to guard !against-all future possibilities that might lead to tins destrupinn of that. Constitution,_ which secured to us the rights and blessings, which, even in the present state of the world, we yet enjoy, Aid one of those possibilities is by nu means impios. Liable to occur, by_ the suttessiin to the Crown de volving. on a female ; who though, by nature, highly aid t mitten+ ly gifted,i both in disposition and talent 4 . , and those talents improved to the highest state of perfection, yet as it is got every woman that is endowed with the firmness of dn .P;li'zabeifs, tltu amiable disposition and nature of al,: present illustrious female might be imposed on, and give way to the Machin it ons of jesuit tez,d inirigue, should her COitIICUS be ever tainted by the admission of Iltomait Catholic Members. . .
