The Proprietors of these l'ublicationa respectfully submit the
following opinion of the Lord Chancellor of England (the especial
guardian of British youth), as delivered by hint in the Court of
Chancery, July 27, 11119:
Mr. Wetherell having applied to the Lord Chancellor to grant an
injunction to restrain certain Booksellers from printing, publishing,
and selling pirated Editions of " Pinnock's Catechisms," the ori-
ginals of which he denominated "useful compendiums of instruc-
tion for the juvenile classes of node' p." his Lordship, on compar-
ing the spurious copies with the genuine works, panted the injunt-
Mtn i and, slier having attentively examined the Latter, was pleaded
to 'mike die following important observation on them :—" It
appears to nic that adults might be greatly beneliml by the in-
struction these Bunks contain, as well as the younger branches of
society."
The Publishers respectfully beg leave to observe, that indepen-
dent of the high enciniii above-mentioned, " Pinnacles Irate-
chisuis" have met with the geteral approbation of a meat nume-
mus and respectable class of intelligent teachers. They need only
to be seen to ensure their universal adoption; the information
they contain in so sinall a compass being imparalleletl, and the
style in which they are written combining case, minds:nem, and
perspicuity.
Being led to look into these Works, we have been pleasingly
surprised at the variety and accuracy of the information they con •
lain, within so small a compass, and in so excellent a form; and
we must say, that more convenient, accurate, well-arranged, and
proper Publications, mete never submitted to general observation."
