to appear early in December; and, in 
initation, which we are sorry to see, 
of the “ Great Unknown,” a volume of 
illustrations is announced even before 
the public have seen the work itself. 
The “ Great Unknown,” besides the 
collateral puff of illustrations, has also 
songs ready-composed, and wmelo- 
dramas ready at all the minor theatres, 
to appear simultaneously with his ori- 
ginal work! Mr. Moore may rely on 
the brilliancy of his productions with- 
out any such factitious aids. 
The Lecture of Mr. JenninGS, lately 
delivered by him at the Surrey Insti- 
tution, on the History and Utility of 
Literary Institutions, is in the press, 
and will be shortly ready for pub- 
lication, with a preface, containing 
observations on some unwarranted 
misrepresentations, to which the deli- 
very of this Lecture has given rise. 
A Hindoo tale, in verse, entitled 
Zaphna, or the Amulet, will very 
shortly be published, by Miss IsaBE 
HILL, author of “‘ the Poet’s Child,” a 
tragedy, and ‘‘Constance,” a tale. 
Canting and hypocrisy seem, if not 
exposed, likely to carry us back ten 
centuries. Some philosophical free- 
thinkers, who had formed themselves 
into a society, were lately arrested at 
Edinburgh, in the very spirit in which 
the Wickliffites and Lollards used to 
be treated in ages which are justly 
denominated dark. Even the press 
conspires with the bigots, and the 
newspapers, from one end of Britain 
to the other, have spoken of this out- 
rage on free enquiry and liberty of 
conscience as though it was commen- 
dable; and have held up a peaceable 
association like a Gun-powder Plot, 
or a Cato-street Conspiracy! We are 
convinced that the affectation of sup- 
porting religion by persecution and by 
Force of law must defeat itself, and that 
the zeal of proselytism will arise in a 
cause, which without persecution 
would never become a cause, and 
would be confined to the closets of 
speculative men. 
In comexion with this subject, we 
may instance the case of Carlisle, who 
is stimulated to become a martyr, by 
a bigotted and foolish spirit of canting 
proscription, and who, if left to him- 
self, would have sunk under the opi- 
nions of society ; but who, as a martyr, 
has found thousands of admirers and 
proselytes. Jt appears that the term 
of his imprisonment has expired, but 
that he is now detained till he can pay 
Literary and Philosophical Intelligence. 
443 
heavy fines, which he has been disabled 
from paying by the seizure of his stock 
by the sheriff, who from its nature has 
omitted to sell it. Will his perpetual 
imprisonment on a religious question 
be either satisfactory to real, Chris- 
tians, or his reeanting for the purpose 
of obtaining his liberty, be creditable 
to that religion which we all consider 
as proceeding from God, and as para- 
mount to human authority. Carlisle 
can effect more than Chubb, Morgan, 
Bolingbroke, Hume, Voltaire, Volney, 
or Gibbon, only by being treated dif- 
ferently from them. If we forebore to 
say thus much on a very delicate sub- 
ject, we should be parties in compro- 
mising our own characters and that of 
the age in which we live.
