"There seems truth In the following commencement of 'he
Ninth Outinien Lecture:—

"Those who take exceptions tothe views and proceedings
of our Outinian Society, 'Seem to accuse us of a wish to re-
vive what is called Old Church of England principles;
is, the moral and religious system, witn the concomits, t
feelings and prejudices, which prevailed in this country just
before the French revolution; and which, attacked on the
one hand by the Sectariaes, and on the other by the Free-
thinkers, have, within these few years, gradually disap-
peared. For, their advocates being at length so dietteart-
ened by the representations, right or wrong, made of their
motives and conduct, the very language by which we might
I recognise them, seems no longer kept alive in one existthg
periodical work ; but, (with the sound general doctrine
is -
deed) the excited style of the first Reformers (contaziotia!y
harmonizing just now with a peculiar foreign enthusiasm,
inimical to the operation of the judgment in the causeeif
troth and honesty) being alone countenanced. How far the
opinion of Erasmus is true, that this party in religion is al,t
to vilify with injustice dangerous to the community, prin.
cipl,s analogous to those of which I may be accused, I , an-
not say; but such as by falsehoods contrive to seta block
seal upon ingenuous active individuals at the outset of life,
which is afterwards to indispose the public to them, evil
wean from them their friends and relations, to the utter Cis-
cocragement of their hopes, perhaps through a long We,
may themselves exhibit something of a real set off against
what may be amiss in the character of the Old Church of
England principles. It is not, however, that we aspire to
such theological discriminotien as can exactly trace what
those principles are, or hence deduce a proof of confurn-.ity
to them ; but if the silenced advocates of the fervid,
just, considerate, and impartial piety ofJoussoe, who w0,..11
establish clear distinctions between virtue and vice, but f. r
that very reason freed them from the clouds of enthusiasms
which endangered justice, we wish to give and receive the
comforts of sympathy for our common failure in credit,
owing to our impolitic preference of the bolder plan of 41 t‘
compromised benevolence, in these no longer revolutionary
times, for the defence of the Church."

It is true, Indeed, that some of the regular news-wetere,
the most closely end endearingly allied to an indiscriminate
assailant of his contemporaries in satire, resembling, for i
stance, the late Peter Pindar,may have means of producing,
from sach a deceased author's portfolio. pasquietvies new
to the public, reflecting (in their attacks of every thing) not
only on the peculiar soundoess, but the peculiar product...e•
nets of Christian virtue, which belongs to those good vii
principles. What is flagitious, or black, seems not now
to be thought, very readily, any thing that is spirited : "tr.is
quality, though it breaks the laws, In modes confessedly the
worst, is perhaps for that very reason secretly admired as
indicative of a Germanic warmth of sentiment ; while Via
cold, and necessarily feeble, though just, appeal to fees of
useless stubbornness, that would prove innocence, by fa.'.-
lag to interest, invites the play of disappointed iinagitm-
lion among the uncertakties or physiognomy. For this fa-
culty has been described by Philosophers as unwilling to
abide by distinctions; in making which, " we offer no foo,i
to it;" and, a:ter vainly expecting an addition to our stock
"of knowledge," it hence leads uc to seek satisfaction by the
invasion of our neighbour's rights in (raining heavy neeu.n.
Lions against him, that produce some animating result at ttis
expence. it matters not, whether the very ambiguous sga
from which guilt is then argued, may not realty 1 dicate
to correct judgineut,a long and profound.) digested plait for
the security of the human race from the wrongs of injusiie,
and the consequent obstruction of useful talents. In comtn4rs
cases, however, it springs from a deficiency of animal spirits,
or peculiarity of defective manner easy to be misrepresented
by artful interestedness ; which, shrewdly inferring from
the want of attraction it perceives in a man, to gratify its.e.f,
the same want of the attractions to him with friends .a
others, in case of an attack, singles him out as a defenceless
adversary; and, knowing that force alone carries the day,
overwhelms him easily in spite of his other claims on mercy.
We should heware,however,of being unjust to either party ;
and of course to the accuser. The inferior orders are often
basely guilty, in thi, character, from the motive of interest-
edness ;. but events hare proved that we should be cautious
of too far discouraging their simple statements; which may
I be justly meant, though Lie deeper and surer reflection of
educated people, with the habits of gentlemen, is necessPry
to correct their hasty superficial notions of the prohabil.ty
of the intolerable vice of real indecency.

OUTINIAN SOCIETY.
The Society, agreeably to the announceiket of its
intention at more length, on the Sth of January, in the New:-
papers, now promises to receive any written statement
offered for insertion as an advertisement or paragraph, but
rejected by the Editors, to be exiiibited invariably through
the London Season, at the Outinian Lectures, read every
Saturday. It will be expected sot to contain any thing
contra bon°, mores ; but though the influence of political
opinion will involuntarily regulate In some mea►ure the
admission of particular ones, found among such as ere
deemed proper to be received and read, an unfavourable de-
cision and consequent rejection, where public spirtneenis
to promise public utility, need be apprehended less fre-
quently than It is now, while depending alone on the Editors
of Newspapers. In particular, occasional couplet., or a
few poetical lines, which take hardly any room in their
journals, will he the more readily aduiitted, as the refusal
has been more destitute of adequate pretexts. For it must
he rather the right over our own property, than eny peeeliar
kindness towards old aequaintances, that juetines our de-
laying, till useless to them from the termination of the
season, the insertion of an article so little obtrusive from
prolixity.
One precaution has seemed to the Society highly neeee.
sary to remedy this failure 'of utility in the proceedings of
the orditiery Editors of Papers—namely, to insure the pe-
ru•:ai of every tiling offered by a sufficient number of mem-
bers, to prevent the very suapieion of allowing them to be
secreted or mislaid by those individuals of families or so-
defies naturally prone I. mischief; allowing art in their
superior an excuse to injure with plausibility. For the
oral communication pf thought, and the ocular p•oofs of the
i 1-concealed meacs of benevolence, newly-marshalled auxi-
liaries, on a system before untried, begin to exemplify a ie-
tory even over the subterfuges resorted to by the fraud and
tyranny of the Press.
Cases of unfortunate persons wishing for a chance of theft'
attracting the eyes of the charitable, when committed to
writing, will be allowed gratis to remain, equally with the
manuscript advertisements, in view of toe eteepauy assem-
bled iu the room of refreshments.
