LITEktAIiY NOTICE. FOR THE SUN. A taSPECTFUL LETTER to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, G. First Lord of his Majesty's Treasury, &c. &c. &c. occasioned by the Speech imputed to his Lordship at the Isle at Thuoct Bible Society Meeting., by the Rev. H. N. N'0i4.2,i3, M. A. Perpetual Curate of John's Chapel, klaCalcney, &c. Thotigh the title-page of the work before us does not fully explain the object which the Author has in.teievi, we have ho hesitatioo in saying that it will ring an alarum through the British Empire. We . censider that every subject in these dominions - is indebted to Mr. NORRIS for a most masterly exposure, by reference to facts and to documents, and by demonstrative reasoning, of a Society at once the most extensive, the most alarming, the Most vigorous, and: deeply planned of any that has been formed in modern times, excepting that of the 111 - umines in Germany, to which it bears in some points a very strong affinity. We are firmly convinced that the Author's motives for this extraordinary exposure are such as he states them to be, and which are honourable to his character, and testimonies of his courage. He says " They are net undertaken, GOD is my witness, from any " other motive than the solicitude which; as an Englishman, " I feel in the welfare of the most highly-favoured country apon - earth, - and from an earnest desire to render faithful ser, " vice to that Church to which I have solemnly dedicated my " life, talents, and 'i;s:ettions, and which I believe to be, within these dominions, that one fold of Christ, integral within it. self, but forming a part also of his Universal Kingclorn,which Barn bound upon every principle, eternal as well as tempo " poral, to cb my utmost to uphold." We have been long aware_ of the existence of the following facts, and have anxiously looked forward for a .public and authentic exposure of I them; and we will take upon us to affirm that Mr. Norris.has, in every instance, kept within the timiti to which :he might have gone. As the press of irocoriant matter is very great, we shall not forbear condensing and abridging our Author, so that we may give as much publicity as pos sible to the leading facts contained in the book, within which there is an exposure of the whole system,, in all it. -various .ramifications, of the " Foreign and British Bible Society." Mr. Norris has shewn that thousands of women, pf every age and station, are made the mere tools of 'a Managing Committee ; that they are made the collectots of subscriptions to an enormous amount, which are remitted to the Committee of the Parent Society, and which sums are disbursed according to their orders ; that the females thus engaged have been insulted by their leaders with language the most indecorous and improper. Af first, the Addresses of the Society to the feMale part of the community, were limited to an iuv,itation tic , its public meetings, and in the Ap pendix to the Report of the year 1810 will be found this recoraed proviso Females not to be called on to ad as Collectors." As soon as the Managers of thi vast scheme felt strong enough to take more vigorous means towards obtaining the object they have in view, they organized Auxiliary Societies-of Women, and made them, instead of Men, CoeLEcTotts. The Financiersi of the Society soon discovered the " beneficial re suit" arising from Females being Collectors.l Sub-Societies were formed, Auxiliary Branch So cieties were organized by the exertions of a' Mr.-Dudley ; these were spread throUgh every county and district, and were stimnlated by his 'Unwearied talents until his exploits drew upon him the highest honours of the Society, whose hired* Agent he Was, and we believe still is. But mark—the private instructions of these conductors of this portentous scheme, were, that the female societies should have a male counsellor, or two deputed by them, whO were strictly enjoined to regularly attend their meetings, to direct their movements, prepare their resolu tions, and conahunicate- with the Parent Society. We do not know of one instance in which a fe male has been placed by the workers of thiS scheme in a situation in which she would be left for a moment to her own discretion. Every female has been a tool, to use the words of one of the organs of the Society, " not indeed to take the under parts of labour, but to tie the " branches, and direct the tendrils," with the confident eXpectation that, with their assistance, there would be " an abundant harvest." We will undertake to affirm that there is not a wo man in the . - kingdom 'who could tell any thing concerning the disburseMents of the money col lected by them, beyond the belief that a certain ninnber of Bibtes and Testaments have been sent, for which they were to obtain, if possible, the full price ; there is not one that can tell more of the Society than that they have attended_ harangueS, and been stimulated to obtain -mo ney, for they knew yot what. This pint will be made more-'evident' hereafter. Our author has shewn that 'the female's have been considered as incapable of holding places of 'trust where the' arcana of the uslein Would be made known ,- and we shall presently shew that Princes and Lords, and even Bishops, have been treated with the same contempt. Now we will exhibit the in sulting and improper manner in which 'the feel ings of the females have been wrought on, and which we trust will so excite their scorn and in dignation, as to induce all those who peruse Mr. Norris's book, to immediately detach them selves from a Society which' has attempted, for its own purposes, to hold their characters up to the derision of men. They were first reli giously worked on. «They were addressed as " fair hearers,. who graced the assembly," and whose " infitience was often more powerful and " effectual than authority." They were said to 4 C manifest their zeal in frequently raising their 6 6 lily hands' in support of the pious andertalc " ing;" then the medicine was rendered more pungent, and they were called on to imitate the devout females " who adorned the triumph of the " Messiah, and augmented his - recompense, who " were the list to leave the cross, and the first " to proclaim the resurrection ;" they were told that they were " angels of mercy in -a female ". form." By the time the commissioned organs and' agents of this Society had Wrought on the feMales in almost every part of the 'country by these fooleries, by mystifying the simple doc trines of the Church, and draWing them towards the self stifficient tenets of Calvinism, they found that their devotees were 4le to bear still stronger stimuli, and at length Dr. Olynthius Gregory assured them that " if they were active in the " cause, God would be their lover." The majority having imbibed the conceit of" imperious duty" in obeying the directions of the Society, they were at last told to cast behind diem all concern for the remonstrances of those " in opposition to " whose sentiments nothing but this strong convic tiO7i would have induced them to-act." The ef fects of such advice have heed dreadful. Even separation between husband and, wife. Family schisms, friendships dissolved, and other calami ties. What will be the surprise of those who are unacquained with the effrontery of these leaders of the thousands of women now udder their influence, when' they are informed that they are- insulted with the title of " An Jima " zoniad troop - of female heroes," who area ,since it is " a work of difficulty and address," to go in pairs, a matron and a younger lady together, ,to invade the retirement of private families, to be " punctual," and 44 persevere" in calling in the "forenoon" when the mastercif the family " is in " the counting house, the factory, or the field" ! ! and it is notoriously the practice' to shun the master of the family, " and his unexpected pre " settee at home is the signal for retreat, till a more'convenient season ?" They are notorious ly encouraged, if rejected by the heads of the family, to penetrate into the kitchens to ha rangue the•domestics, and induce them to sub _scribe, for - money is their one main object, and inquire into the spiritual concerns of the household: They have been exhorted to do • more, even than this, actually to penetrate into the vessels and ships of every port. Mr. Norris has kept far within bounds, for we understand-that very handsome, - well spoken females, apparently under twenty years .of age, deputed by the So ciety, are in the practise of GOING ALONE to the houses of single men for the purpose of obtaining money to prOmote the ends of their employers, and whose beauty and address render it almost impossible to refuse what they solicit ; but we cannot wonder at so great a prostitution of Mind, or at so great a delusion, when .the females of these societies tolerate such language as the fol lowing _ _ _ - " What may not be anticipated from the fu " Lure ekertions of a Society under such high pa " tronage, and with such powerful support ; a " Society which, to the commanding energies of " man, now combines-the more imposing Mu " ence of female grace, and zeal, and industry. 44 The ex.perience of years had proved that even " in the capacity of a Bible Society it was not "good for man to be alone. The harmony of nature, 44 however, is now happily completed. The hardy " and Masculine trunk, which was found to be 44 deficient in that nourishing moisture which brings " the blossoms to the maturely of fruit, has at " length received a graft from a young enriching species : and the union promises to contribute " largely to the abundance and 4cellence of " their common productions !! !"- The man who penned . alb; metaphorical obscenity deserves the severest punishment ; and, as Mr. Norris most justly - observes, that females " must be led " captiVe at the, will of those to whom they so " disresputably-listen, and be driven to any " lengths to which these men may urge them on, in furtherance of their designs," we have shown enough to convince any rational woman that to ally herself to this Society is to be led she knows not where, to be made an instrument of, for she knows not what, to ,be cajoled as a fool. and insulted as being void of all - Claim to female delicacy._ This .money-raising system has been, we understand, carried even into academies, and boys are tempted, by the promise of being made vice-patrons and committee-men, if they will contribute one or two guineas, on their leav ing school.—Female seminaries have been . also attacked with great success, and, credal Judivus, even Sunday-schools and Charity-schools, "from 44 whom. the Society haS received • the'most con " staut support 'according to their means!!!?' These are not all the measures-these sagacious and persevering men have taken to obtain money, and strengthen themselves with wealth and itum tiers, so as to effectually attain their desired end, They have closely united themselves to the Socinians, a Sect which declares " all creeds', 44 catechisms and articles as unscriptural vations upon' genuine Christian Theology ;" " The members of which Sect publicly revile our " Liturgy as the Commun Prayer Book of the Sect " of the - Thirty Nine Articles, still whimsically " enough styling itself the Church of England;" and who openly express their high satisfaction at 44 the wonderful success of the Bible Society, " and that hence they cannot but encourage - the " cheerful hope," that Scriptural worship and ." Scriptural religion will rapidly gain ground." A sect which bestows lamentations upon ` 4 such " Christian scholars as are tied up by a NAM . ROW " Ecclesiastical Establishment from doing JUS CC TILE to the Scriptures, and are obliged by 44 oaths and subscriptions to deliver that to the "people as inspired truth *Mai TEIEY KNOW to " be acarelbSs alteration, a sUperstitiou perver ""sion, or a Wicked- corruption of the sacred re " cords." Before - we proCeed, we assure our` Readers that we feel and profess the most per fect toleration for, the opinions and worship of every_sect, and that we are not actuated by any personal hostility towards any sect; and that in giving, all publicity to the undisguised assertions of seas of different denominations, we consider ourselveS as fulfilling our public duty, as well as in stating the character and avowed principles of the coadjutors of this great association. Oar readers will be as much surprised,as we were When we became acquainted with the fact,.when we make known to tobem that the Socinians, aware of the just . odiutn their public appearance as its 'zealous supporters would bring upon the Society, have declared that they have given a greater proof of _their " 'warm kegard, - by abstaining " from the pleasure, and denying themselves the honour, of being amongst - its most 'public and " zealous proinoters." Mr.' Norris's exposition of this coalition is drawn, with a' master's hand 'from indisputable documents, and is in itself enough t' give a death blow to thiS Society. We will now enter su perficially, for our lirnts will not admit of our going deeper into the system of delusion practised by the movers of the machine to carry on their projects. When Princes, Nobles, Bishops, or persons of distinction, are so cajoled as to accept Presidencies and other offices, they are used as a thew regiment with - Which to entrap the un wary, but their private system is never to admit them into the closet of the Conductors, though with extreme cunning they order that 46 the re " spect which is due to rank and character and " influence should never be lost sight of, and that 44 their possessors should be placed in the list of 4 4 honorary ofjVcers, rather than on the Committee," " since, they continue, " it is undeniable that no " minal strength in a Committee is not unfrequently "found to be real weakness." The surprise will be increased, when we assure our Readers that Mr. Norris has.proved that, though the Archbishop of Canterbury directed his name to be with drawn, with pertinacious effrontery they still continued to muster him as a partisair. That the . Primate of Ireland, and the Archbishop of Dub lin, because they directed their names to be erased since the conduct of the Society did not conform to their original professions, were shame fully insulted and reviled, as well as the Bishops of Meath and Armagh.. The celebrated Bishop Marsh - they did not dare to continue to revile s since he with vigour, learning, and precision, long since convicted them of the grossest public de ception, in declaring that they had translated, the Scriptures into various tongues, which they had not done l and of making assertions respecting the state of Germany and other countries which were palpably false. The learned Bishop Towline too has stood the brunt of their reproach and calurniiy, for in one of the reports of their deputed organs it is said, " that either the Bishop " of Lincoln was • a false accuser, or the Arch " bishop of Canterbury was a traitor to the " Church." Eve's the .hallowed dead are not safe from their false and vituperative asper sions, for though it was notorious that the late learned and respected Bishop Randolph 'gave, not long before he was called away, " most ex " tensive publicity to a letter from Hertford, de " tailing some auxiliary speeches there; which " developed rather prematurely those tendencies 44 of the Society which his penetrating eye had " before detected," orse of the Society's agents publicly declared, since he had some time before substantiated ch'arges against the Society, that " he lived and died, regretting that he ever sent " it forth into the world," while on that Prelate's unexpected death it was circulated by the organs of the_Society, that " it is the practice of the Al " mighty, when he has great designs in view, to 44 begin by the removal of obstacles, and that it " was a great mercy in GOD to take away such 4C a persecutor of his people! !!" Other Prelates and Dignitaries have directed their names to be erased from the rolls of a Society, which, as soon as it had received warmth and vigour from their fostering protection, exhibited their real objects, and turned ow those who cherished them. Their impudence has even gone the length of endea vouring to force honorary situations on Noblemen and persons of distinction; among the former was the Earl of Craven, who readily perceived, not only the latent objects of the Society, but felt the improper liberty whibh had been taken, and in a dignified rejection of the honour conferred, directed his name to be erased. The then Mem ber for Reading, in Berkshire, did the. same. Our limits will not allow us .to enter at length on, the system of arilling and disciplining the trumpeters of the Society at their public meet ings, or of detailing at length the practice of dressing up the speeches made for future publi cation. Notwithstanding all their care and cunning, some detections have been made by their own members, over whom they either had not gained sufficient controul . , or whom they had , not sufficiently drilled. After the Society had scattered over the country splen did accounts of their success in India, and had penned flaming recitals of Ilindou women immolating themselves oh the pyres of their hug bands, and thus extracted more contributions from their deluded votaries, it was stated before a great concourse of persons in Freemason's Hall by one of their own body who had long resided in India, elat NOT Two Hundred Converts had been made by them in twenty years. Mr. Owen, who has been' well sltewn up in the Christian Remembrancer, Mr. Roe, Mr. Cunningham, and even Mr. Wilberforce, as if struck by an electric shock, sprung up to soften down the statement, but, in vain, the damning 'fact was too 'strong and too clearly stated, and we heard no more of India and Ilindoo immolations for some time rafter. The Society were allowed a footing by the members of the factory at St. Peters burgh, under the promise , that they would not disturb the Church of England. _But guess our surprise at learning that 'their pledge was deemed more honoured in the breach than in the ob servance ; for in 1816, only " three years after " wards,a dissenting place of worship was opened, " under the alm \ ost exclusive 'countenance and, " support of the different individuals employed " in the Bible Society's various departments; " and this hitherto unanimous communion was " 4 ' dismembered." In addition to air these means, they have - an active resident at Cambridge, who spares neither expence nor pains to make Converts among the Students, to his pernicious doctrines, and we are sorry to acknowledge that he has been too suc cessful. After all that has been said, it would be superfluous to draw a comparison between the Society for the Promotion of Christian Know ledge and this Association. But as the leaders of this Society have made disparaging statements respecting the Society for the Promotion of Chris tian Knowledge,we assure our readers, on the word of Mr. N that that Society not 'I -* lat . orris, is only circulates the Bible alone, but also with the Liturgy, and with select works from the most approved divitres, as their applicants require, and that in fact there is " no other limitation than its resources." As a proof of the fact, the Rev. Basil Woodd actually distributed Two Thousand Bibles alone in the neighbourhood of Bentiuck ,Chapel. Mr. Wil berforce is also called on to bear testimony to the fact. • To this let us, through Mr. Norris, make ,known that the Bible Society distributes ,'gra tuitously neither - Bibles nor Testaments, except ing in very few instances, and that 60 ladies were.' rebuked by Mr. Dudley "as having carried the' " mode of gratuitous supply to a mischievous excess, " the amount being Five Pounds !! " The most indigent persons-who are supplied with this So ciety's Bibles pay for them either at the time, or half when the book is delivered, or by a penny each week until the sum is completed ; and these poor deluded creatures actually pay a larger sum than . required by the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge from more competent persons. , Moreover, the Society, when they grew richer and more powerful, raised the price of their Bibles, so ,keen are they in the pursuit of gain. But the S2:Klety for. the Promotion of Christian Knowledge has gradually diminished their prices and increased their gratuitous distribution. If our limits would permit us, we would gladly quote Mr. Norris's precise exposure of this grinding act; but the following table will be proof enough that the Society are getting a profit of many Pounds per Cent. by selling their wares. 1822` 1822.

Mr. Owen, one of the accredit ed organs of the Society, has affirmed that they were " a body or men exceeded by none in the " pains which they take to procure suitable " editors for their foreign versions, or in looking " closely into the principles of those to whom " the editing of them is entrusted." Mr. Norris has proved, and so has the Editor of the Christian Remembrancer, that the Calvinistic translation of Ostervald's Bible, which had been rejected by the Pastors and Professors of the Church of Geneva, was published by the Society, and loud , ' ly proclaimed by Mr. Owen as the edition re ceived and approved of by the Church of Gene va ; and that it had been carefully " revue et corrigee, avec soin, d'apres les texts Ilebren et Grec," when it had not undergone any such cor rection, but was " a vile copy of the grossest errata of the edition from which it was printed." The Editor was Mr. Meicier, a known Socinian, who had published sermons, from which his prin ciples could haVe been easily known. The Committee of the Society wished to "new cast," and " fresh punctuate" the Irish Bible, but were prevented, and, after a severe struggle, consented to adopt Bishop Beodil's translation. — These careful selectors of Editors confided in one " M'Quig, whom they found in Watts's " printing-office, whittler he had been driven to " seek a livelihood by translating or correct " ing press-work, in consequence of practices " which had drawn down , upon him,—first, the " suspension of his functions as a Methodist " preacher, and subsequently irrevocable degra " dation from his ministry. This man, exceed " ingly defective in his, knowledge of Irish, ge nerally ignorant in other respects, and signal " ized only by the particulars above stated, and " by the outrageous offensiveness of his conduct " towards one of the most distinguished of the g 4 Irish Clergy, is the second specimen which has " transpired of the managing Committee's edito " rial circumspection." Bishop Cleaver's spirited remonstrance compelled the Society to desist from printing any more copies of their Welsh Bible, since Mr. Charles, their editor, was she w n to have made in the New Testament alone ONE THOUSAND AND SIX ERRORS /. 1 . ! The unsophisticated people of Iceland said that it broke their hearts to see the liberties which had been taken with their Scrip tures, in the Edition sanctioned by the Society. ,But enough. We will now offer a few remarks on the manner in which the enormous sums have been disbursed. Mr. Norris states the specified " Revenue of the Bible Society to be EIGHTY EIGHT THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS per annum." We do not deem the expence of printing, &c. considerable, since, all' (the gratuitous distribution is not worthy of men tion) Bi bles and Testaments in this country are paid for at a high price, as the preceding table proves. Of the copies carried to Smyrna, thence to Egypt, Abyssinia, Armenia, '&c. the greater number are paid for by the purchasers, or exchanged for MS. and other Versions, as is reported by their accre dited agent, Mr. Jowett ; the agents and Mis sionary, expences will not consume more than a small portion of so great a sum'. But it is noto rious that Church Livings of a certain value are purchased by the Calvinistic Methodists, and men of the same religious opinions are placed in them .as are professed by those who are the directors of this vast machine. Whether this circumstance will account for any portion of the expenditure, ,tGe •Private Committee of the Bible Society can make known if they please; so that there is forming within the pale , of the Church a body-of men who are verifying the declaration of one of their accredited i -organs. that " the Members of the Church of England did not see that they ' WERE WORKING THEIR OWN UNDOING." This exposure will throw some light on the reasons why the 'zealous and learned Bishop Marsh put forth his Ordination Questions ; it was to raise a bulwark against the Calvinistic. Methodists of this Society ; it was to preserve the Hierarchy ftoin being hurled from their seats; it was to preserve the .Church against the mining at tacks of its bitterest foes. The adherents of this Society heaped uppn that great, that learned, Prelate every' vile and opprobrious epi thet; they accused him of oppression and spiritual tyranny, though in five years he had rejected, under the use of 'these admirable questions, only one inefficient candidate, one Curate who would not be examined, and one who vainly endeavoured, to mislead the acute and able Prelate.—These two latter persons were selected merely to agitate the question, and of this the Noble Lord who presented their Petitions, it is said, was aware. But the Calvinistic Methodists knew that the barrier which their steady and active'opponent had drawn up could not be passed over, so they vented their rage against the Prelate; but rage is not often accompanied with wisdom, and they went too far, and triumphantly foretold 4 ‘ th u it i 64 the Mitre and the Crown t7ouldfall together ll" We will close our remarks, first, by offering our humble meed of commendation to Mr. Norris, not only for the masterly exposure of this alight, scheme, but for the gentlemanly manner in . whic 4l he has addressed the Earl of Liverpool, who , we sincerely hope, will ere long institute a Sena torial inquiry into the illegal mode of taxation pursued by the emissaries of the Bible Society; secondly, we wish it to be most clearly under stood, that we unfeignedly believe that the" n"" jority of the persons who have been made instill' ments of by this Society are perfectly ignorant of the objects in view by their leaders, but think that they are performing their duty both to God and man, while in truth they are in' struments in the hands of the greatest enemies `Me Church of England ever had to contend with; and lastly we will conclud e w ith M r . Norris ' own words, 'who, as a " faithf u l mon it or , warne d the country of its danger wh en th e S oc i e ty COn" menced,as another Delilah,that caress i n g syste m which he saw would prov e d e sti uc ti ve of ou t Church's strength, and deliv er it over an easy pray to the Philistines."
