rity of Christianity, and to establish a full conviction of its
value, if it can be Clearly proved, not only from general' rea-
soning on the nature of its doctrine, that its tendency is use.
ful, but also, from a dirett appeal to • Historical. Fads, that
its adual operation on. Mankind has been highly beneficial.
• " This is the. laudable , undertaking in which Dr. Ryan
has engaged : • and h, has, in the. present volume,' laboured,
with much increased industry, in searching. tor materials-to
establish his point in, civil and-ecclesiastical history, and in
the writings of celebrated Philosophers and Disines.—Vy-e re-
peat that.We'ati.: of opinion, that Qr. Ryan is'entitled to com-
me for the pains which he has taken to prove
tae whole, appears fairly admissible—that the adnal ope_
ration of -Religion in.generai, and of Christianity in particular,
in the midst of toe perversions and corruptions-which
they have - suffered, has been beneficial to Mankind.''—

rTIHE MEANS of REFORMING the MORALS
AL of the POOR, by the Prevention of Poverty ; and a
Plan for Ameliorating the Condition of Parislt-paupers, and
diminishing the Expence of Maintaining them. •
By, lOHN Hi I.L. . . ,
Published by j Hatchard, Piccadilly, London.
This Plan is proposed as an -Amendment to the 434 of Eliz.,
and shews that the DefeCts complained of may be effeelually
obviated by some Modifications of that AO, which
,are too
complex for its due execution by the generality of Parish
Officers ; and, by same 'auxiliary Clauses, to prevent the
alarming increase of Parish- paupers, on the principle of
Blackstone*, who says, " ltts really an honow, and altnost
a singular on; to our Engiish Laws, that they furnish a
t:tle of this sort ; since preventive justice is, upenevery rea-
-1 son of hurtianity andsound'policyo preferable to punishing
justice. This preventive justice consists in obliging those
persons whom here is probable grounds to suspect of future
misbehaviour, to stipulate with, and give full assurance to,
the Public, that such offence as is apprehended 'shall not
happen, la); finding pledges or securities for their goodbeha-
viour." This security to the Public is here founded on that
Statute by which Seamen are compelled to contribute month-
ly to the Chatham Chest ; and as it is presumed that a simi-
lar -regulation may be extended to all those of the rising
generation who are not payers to the Poor-rate or Revenue;
who, instead of laying on their superiors the heavy burden
incurred by-idleness and profligacy, might be obliged to make
early provision for their future welfare. Thus their morals
would be improved, their- wants supplied, -a laudable spirit
of independence acquired, and every individual would be.
come his.own refouner, - • .
• With these views the formation of Friendly Societies is
recommended; at the same tune. that the detects and abuses
in their present state are' pointed out, and remedies suggested.
These suggestions, if iclopted, would prevent ailventidous
poverty, and stop the great inlet to l'arish-paupers; the irk-
some business to the Magistrate-and Parisii-officer would he
diminished ; the vexatious Laws of Settlement would soon
become obsolete, and the heavy Poor rate reduced to a fifth
of its present large am•nint,
" We have perused this really ratriotie Trad with much
sltisfaCtion-, because the Author appears to us to contemplate
the important subjed of his remarks in a true point of view,
#nd therefore we recommend it to general arid e‘kciire nt ten.
