read 1t has never been repubshed in this country
and the English copies are extremely scarce and
DEAR Considering that it contains an rrefutable ar

It must be matter of congratulatlon TO all the
friends OF the Church and Of primitive truth and or
der, that we are likely 10 have this desideratum
supplied by an American Edition for which Mes.
srs. Potter Co. of our city, have issued proposals
it"lii De compressed into convenient octave volume
OF about 800 pages, and furnished at price within
the means OF most Of your readers. 1t ought 10 be
IN the hands OF every Episcopaan, indeed of every
person who attaches value to whatever is consecra-
ted by apostocal establishment and practice.
It must be confessed that there is Iamentable
ignorance IN our community in general with re-.
spect TO the grounds and reasons Of the Episcopal
constitution OF the ministry. And believing as
do, in my conscience, that we are not justified in
departing thereirom, and that consequently we are
bound 70 promote whatever is calculated TO give COR
rect information upon the subject most cordially
hail the prospect Of The wide diffusion Of the inyalu
able work above mentioned.

triumphant conqueror of all Sparta as the deliyerer
Of all Greece in word, as the greatest man, and

world. In the midst Of this universal applause, so

the man for the victor, Epamnondas, little sensible

he, ars'es from my Of that .cheh the ne1ss of
my r'efory will gire my father and my mother.''
