may the anonymous letter-writer state a confession of
the merits of our Coadjutor, which, though made with
less friendly ♦iews towards him than we should make it, it
is neweriawless a matter of to Oomph to 141 to hate obtained
from him. 'II is unity Ilse hat years of your life,' says this
sly anonymous defamer, ' that I am at present finding fault

may du so by availing himself of the sacred institution
which we defend, I cannot say; but our Society is fully
persusoled that, if be was, it would hr to set the seal
noun the important involvements we mediate; and at any
rate we hold with the approbation of our auditors and read-
