The Proprietors of these Publications respectfully submitthe fol-
lowing Opinion 'of the Lord Chancellor of England, as delivered
by him in the Ciiurt of Chancery :
Mr. Wetherell having applied to the Lord Chancellor to grant
an Injunction to restrain certain Booksellers from printing, pub-
lishing, and selling pirated Editions of Pinnock's Catechisms, the
originals of which he denominated " useful Compendiums of In-
struction for the Juvenile Classes of Society ;" his Lordship, on
comparing the Spurious Copies with the Genuine Works, panted
the Injunction ; and, after having attentively examined the latter,
was pleased to make the following important observation on them :
—". It appears to me that Adults might be greatly benefited by the
instruction these Books contain, as well as the Younger Branches
of Speiet y..".. .

The YobUsher respectfully begs leave to observe, that, inde-
pendent of the high encomium above mentioned, Pinnock's
Catechisms" have met with the general approbation of a most nu-
merous and respectable clan of intelligent Teachers. They need
only to be seen to ensure their universal adoption : the information
they containin so small a compass being unparalleled, and the
style in which they are written, combining ease, conciseness, and
perspicuity.
" Being led to look into these work,, we have been pleasingly
surprised at the variety and accuracy of the information they con-
tain, within so small a compass, and in so excellent a form ; and
we must say, that more convenient, accurate, well-arranged, and
proper publications. were never submitted to general, observation."
—Literary Gazette.
